How To Connect
Cylon.robot({
connections: {
arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' }
},
devices: {
sensor: { driver: 'ir-range-sensor', pin: 0, model: 'gp2y0a41sk0f' }
}
});
How To Use
var Cylon = require('cylon'); Cylon.robot({ connections: { arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' } }, devices: { sensor: { driver: 'ir-range-sensor', pin: 0, model: 'gp2y0a41sk0f' } } work: function(my) { every((1).seconds(), function(){ var range = my.sensor.range(); console.log('Range ===>', range); }); } }).start();
