cylon-i2c

Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) using Node.js.
This module provides drivers for i2c devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C). You must use this module alongside Cylon.js adaptors that have i2c support, such as cylon-firmata.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install cylon cylon-i2c
Note you must also install whichever adaptor you want to use, such as: npm install cylon-firmata

Example

var Cylon = require('cylon');

// Initialize the robot
Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' }
  },

  devices: {
    blinkm: { driver: 'blinkm'}
  },

  work: function(my) {
    var lit = false;
    my.blinkm.off()
    every((1).seconds(), function() {
      if (lit === true) {
        lit = false;
        my.blinkm.rgb(0xaa, 0, 0);
      } else {
        lit = true;
        my.blinkm.rgb(0, 0, 0);
      }
    });
  }
}).start();
