Firmata

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

This package provides the adaptor for microcontrollers such as Arduino that support the Firmata protocol

How to Use

package main

import (
	"time"

	"github.com/hybridgroup/gobot"
	"github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/platforms/firmata"
	"github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/platforms/gpio"
)

func main() {
	gbot := gobot.NewGobot()

	firmataAdaptor := firmata.NewFirmataAdaptor("arduino", "/dev/ttyACM0")
	led := gpio.NewLedDriver(firmataAdaptor, "led", "13")

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

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

	gbot.AddRobot(robot)

	gbot.Start()
}
