INSTALL:¶ ↑

• gem install arduino_firmata

DESCRIPTION:¶ ↑

Arduino Firmata protocol (firmata.org) implementation on Ruby.

SYNOPSIS:¶ ↑

Setup

arduino = ArduinoFirmata.connect  # use default arduino
arduino = ArduinoFirmata.connect '/dev/tty.usb-device-name'

Board Version

puts "firmata version #{arduino.version}"

Digital Write

arduino.digital_write 13, true
arduino.digital_write 13, false

Digital Read

arduino.pin_mode 7, ArduinoFirmata::INPUT
puts arduino.digital_read 7  # => true/false

Analog Write (PWM)

0.upto(255) do |i|
  arduino.analog_write 11, i
  sleep 0.01
end

Analog Read

puts arduino.analog_read 0  # => 0 ~ 1023

arduino.on_analog_changed 0 do |value|
  puts value  # => 0 ~ 1023
end

Servo Motor

loop do
  angle = rand(180)
  arduino.servo_write 11, angle
  sleep 1
end

Close

arduino.close

Block

ArduinoFirmata.connect do
  puts "firmata version #{version}"

  30.times do
    an = analog_read 0
    analog_write 11, an
    sleep 0.01
  end
end
