Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics and physical computing using Node.js

This module provides drivers for i2c devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C). You would not normally use this module directly, instead it is used by Cylon.js adaptors that have i2c support.

Want to use Ruby on robots? Check out our sister project Artoo (http://artoo.io)

Want to use the Go programming language to power your robots? Check out our sister project Gobot (http://gobot.io).

Install the module with: npm install cylon-i2c

var Cylon = require('cylon');

// Initialize the robot
Cylon.robot({
  connection: { name: 'arduino', adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' },
  device: {name: 'blinkm', driver: 'blinkm'},

  work: function(my) {
    var lit = false;
    my.blinkm.on('start', function() {
      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();

Cylon = require('cylon')

Cylon.robot
  connection:
    name: 'arduino', adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0'

  device:
    name: 'blinkm', driver: 'blinkm'

  work: (my) ->
    lit = false

    my.blinkm.on 'start', ->
      my.blinkm.off()

      every 1.second(), ->
        if lit
          lit = false
          my.blinkm.rgb 0xaa, 0, 0
        else
          lit = true
          my.blinkm.rgb 0, 0, 0      

.start()

Cylon.js has a extensible system for connecting to hardware devices. The following i2c devices are currently supported:

• BlinkM
• HMC6352 Digital Compass

More drivers are coming soon...

We're busy adding documentation to our web site at http://cylonjs.com/ please check there as we continue to work on Cylon.js

Thank you!

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.

Version 0.3.0 - Add support for HMC6352 digial compass

Version 0.2.0 - Update to Cylon 0.5.0

Version 0.1.0 - Add support for BlinkM
