How To Connect
Cylon.robot({
connections: {
arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' }
},
devices: {
motor: { driver: 'motor', pin: 3 }
},
});
How To Use
var Cylon = require('cylon'); Cylon.robot({ connections: { arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' } }, devices: { motor: { driver: 'motor', pin: 3 } }, work: function(my) { my.motor.speed(100); after((5).seconds(), function() { my.motor.stop(); }); } }).start();
