Particle

The Particle Photon and Particle Electron are connected microcontrollers from Particle (http://particle.io), the company formerly known as Spark Devices. The Photon uses a Wi-Fi connection to the Particle cloud, and the Electron uses a 3G wireless connection. Once the Photon or Electron connects to the network, it automatically connects with a central server (the "Particle Cloud") and stays connected so it can be controlled from external systems, such as a Gobot program. To run Gobot programs please make sure you are running default Tinker firmware on the Photon or Electron.

How to Install

Installing Gobot with Particle support is pretty easy.

go get -d -u gobot.io/x/gobot/... && go install gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/particle

How to Use

package main

import (
	"time"

	"gobot.io/x/gobot"
	"gobot.io/x/gobot/drivers/gpio"
	"gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/particle"
)

func main() {
	core := particle.NewAdaptor("device_id", "access_token")
	led := gpio.NewLedDriver(core, "D7")

	work := func() {
		gobot.Every(1*time.Second, func() {
			led.Toggle()
		})
	}

	robot := gobot.NewRobot("spark",
		[]gobot.Connection{core},
		[]gobot.Device{led},
		work,
	)

	robot.Start()
}
