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 drivers to connect to the Sphero BB-8 and Sphero Ollie Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) robots from Sphero (http://www.sphero.com/).
It was formerly named cylon-ollie, but is now renamed cylon-sphero-ble to better fit the new expanded functionality.
It uses the Sphero.js node module (https://github.com/orbotix/sphero.js) created by @orbotix thank you!

$ npm install cylon cylon-sphero-ble
var Cylon = require('cylon');
Cylon.robot({
connections: {
bluetooth: { adaptor: 'central', uuid: 'cc360e85785e', module: 'cylon-ble'}
},
devices: {
bb8: { driver: 'bb8', module: 'cylon-sphero-ble'}
},
work: function(my) {
my.bb8.color(0x00FFFF);
after(500, function() {
my.bb8.color(0xFF0000);
});
after(1000, function() {
my.bb8.roll(60, 0);
});
after(2000, function() {
my.bb8.roll(60, 180);
});
after(3000, function() {
my.bb8.stop();
});
}
}).start();Before you will be able to program the BB-8/Ollie, you will need to determine the BLE address of your robot. 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 address substitute it into your code, and away you go!
You can run the examples in this repo like this:
ADDRESS="f3f26d557108" node examples/color.js
We're busy adding documentation to cylonjs.com. Please check there as we continue to work on Cylon.js.
