Continous Servo


Provides an interface for making servos easy to work and interact with from Cylon.js.

How To Connect

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

  devices: {
    servo: { driver: 'continuous-servo', pin: 3 }
  },
});

How To Use

This example moves a servo from angle 45 to 90 to 135.

var Cylon = require('cylon');

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

  devices: {
    servo: { driver: 'continuous-servo', pin: 3 }
  },

  work: function(my) {
    var clockwise = true;

    my.servo.clockwise();

    every((1).second(), function() {
      if (clockwise) {
        my.servo.counterClockwise();
        clockwise = false;
      } else {
        my.servo.clockwise();
        clockwise = true;
      }
    });
  }
}).start();
