Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics and physical computing using Node.js
This module provides an adaptor for the Spark core device using the built-in Tinker protocol (https://www.spark.io/).
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-spark
$ cylon spark upload [access_token] [device_id] new_firmware.cpp
The cylon spark upload
command can help if you want to upload new source code
to your Spark Core.
For more information on how to program your Spark, please see Spark's examples.
You'll need your access_token
and device_id
to push new software to your
Spark, and you can get both of these from Spark's Build
tool.
- access_token: In the Build tool, click on the Settings cog in the bottom-left corner to find your access token.
- device_id: After you have your Spark Core registered to your account through the Tinker app, click on the Cores section (just above the Settings cog) on the Build tool. Then, click on the arrow next to your core's name to get its device ID.
var Cylon = require('cylon');
// Initialize the robot
Cylon.robot({
connection: { name: 'spark', adaptor: 'spark', accessToken: 'XYZPDQ123', deviceId: '123ABC456' },
device: {name: 'led', driver: 'led', pin: 'D0'},
work: function(my) {
every((1).second(), function() {my.led.toggle()});
}
}).start();
Cylon = require('cylon')
# Initialize the robot
Cylon.robot
connection:
name: 'spark', adaptor: 'spark', accessToken: 'XYZPDQ123', deviceId: '123ABC456'
device:
name: 'led', driver: 'led', pin: 'D0'
work: (my) ->
every 1.second(), -> my.led.toggle()
.start()

- Submit a Github Pull Request to the appropriate branch and ideally discuss the changes with us in IRC.
- We will look at the patch, test it out, and give you feedback.
- Avoid doing minor whitespace changes, renamings, etc. along with merged content. These will be done by the maintainers from time to time but they can complicate merges and should be done seperately.
- Take care to maintain the existing coding style.
- Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality & Lint and test your code using Grunt.
- All pull requests should be "fast forward"
- If there are commits after yours use “git rebase -i <new_head_branch>”
- If you have local changes you may need to use “git stash”
- For git help see progit which is an awesome (and free) book on git
