Cylon.js For Ollie

Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

This repository contains the Cylon.js adaptor/drivers to connect to the Ollie from Orbotix (http://www.gosphero.com/ollie/).

How to Install

$ npm install cylon cylon-ollie

How to Use

var Cylon = require('cylon');

Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    bluetooth: { adaptor: 'central', uuid: 'cc360e85785e', module: 'cylon-ble'}
  },

  devices: {
    ollie: { driver: 'ollie'}
  },

  work: function(my) {
    my.ollie.color(0x00FFFF);

    after(500, function() {
      my.ollie.color(0xFF0000);
    });

    after(1000, function() {
      my.ollie.roll(60, 0);
    });

    after(2000, function() {
      my.ollie.roll(60, 180);
    });

    after(3000, function() {
      my.ollie.stop();
    });
  }
}).start();

How to Connect

Before you will be able to program the Ollie, you will need to determine the uuid of your Ollie. One way to do this, is to use the cylon-ble-scan command line utility installed as part of cylon-ble.

Once you know your uuid substititute it into your code, and away you go!
