gobot-firmata

Gobot (http://gobot.io/) is a library for robotics and physical computing using Go

This library provides an adaptor for microcontrollers such as Arduino that support the Firmata protocol (http://firmata.org/wiki/Main_Page)

Getting Started

Install the library with: go get -u github.com/hybridgroup/gobot-firmata

Example

package main

import (
	"github.com/hybridgroup/gobot"
	"github.com/hybridgroup/gobot-firmata"
	"github.com/hybridgroup/gobot-gpio"
)

func main() {

	firmata := new(gobotFirmata.FirmataAdaptor)
	firmata.Name = "firmata"
	firmata.Port = "/dev/ttyACM0"

	led := gobotGPIO.NewLed(firmata)
	led.Name = "led"
	led.Pin = "13"

	work := func() {
		gobot.Every("1s", func() {
			led.Toggle()
		})
	}

	robot := gobot.Robot{
		Connections: []gobot.Connection{firmata},
		Devices:     []gobot.Device{led},
		Work:        work,
	}

	robot.Start()
}

Hardware Support

The following firmata devices have been tested and are currently supported:

More devices are coming soon...
