A small modular, event-driven framework for structuring Arduino sketches, such that individual device drivers can be easily componentized and combined into a single application.
Aiko allows you to write event-driven code:
#include <AikoEvents.h>
using namespace Aiko;
int ledPin = 13;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Events.addHandler(blink, 1000); // Every 1000ms
}
void loop() {
Events.loop();
}
void blink() {
static boolean on = HIGH;
digitalWrite(ledPin, on);
on = !on;
}
Writing individual device drivers as event-driven functions makes it simpler to create device specific modules that can be shared with others and easier to then combine and integrate them with less code changes.

Change into your Arduino libraries folder and use git to clone the project.
On a Mac this looks like:
cd /Applications/arduino-0015/hardware/libraries
git clone git://github.com/geekscape/Aiko.git
On Linux, this will directory will be wherever you install your Arduino software.
Alternatively you can download a tarball or ZIP archive from the Aiko repository by clicking the "download" link at:
http://github.com/geekscape/Aiko/tree/master
Note: Since Arduino IDE 0017, you can create a "libraries/" directory and "git clone" the Aiko repository in that directory.
To upgrade to the latest version:
cd /Applications/arduino-0015/hardware/libraries/Aiko
git pull
make clean
(If you're on a Mac, you'll need XCode installed.)
- Callback - Easy to use function and method callbacks.
- Events - Schedule regular callbacks so you can easily deal with a bunch of devices connected to your Arduino.
- SExpression - Parse simple SExpressions. Think of this as the Arduino equivalent of JSON.
- Timing - Accurate timing, including better replacements for the standard Arduino timing functions.
See the corresponding files in the docs directory for more info on each module.
