Browsercontrol

back

The BrowserControl class constructs an object that maps to an input or group of inputs. Each of these inputs maps to a device in Johnny-Five.

Browser Controls are represented in the HTML by a an <input> or <fieldset> element that has a unique ID attribute and a data-device-type attribute of one of our BrowserControl types. This example:

<form id="sampleBoard" data-device-type="board">
  <fieldset id="myOrientator" data-device-type="orientation">
    <input data-device-type="servo" id="myBeta" data-axis="beta" />
    <input data-device-type="servo" id="myGamma" data-axis="gamma" />
  </fieldset>
</form>

will initialize a board in the NodebotUI server, create an orientation BrowserControl and bind servos to the beta and gamma axes. When you tilt your device, the servos will move.
