Gobot (http://gobot.io/) is a framework using the Go programming language (http://golang.org/) for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things.
It provides a simple, yet powerful way to create solutions that incorporate multiple, different hardware devices at the same time.

Gobot has a extensible system for connecting to hardware devices. The following robotics and physical computing platforms are currently supported:
- Ardrone <=> Package
- Arduino <=> Package
- Beaglebone Black <=> Package
- Bebop <=> Package
- C.H.I.P <=> Package
- Digispark <=> Package
- Intel Edison <=> Package
- Joystick <=> Package
- Keyboard <=> Package
- Leap Motion <=> Package
- MavLink <=> Package
- MQTT <=> Package
- Neurosky <=> Package
- OpenCV <=> Package
- Pebble <=> Package
- Raspberry Pi <=> Package
- Spark <=> Package
- Sphero <=> Package
Support for many devices that use General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) have
a shared set of drivers provided using the gobot/platforms/gpio
package:
- GPIO <=> Drivers
- Analog Sensor
- Button

- Grove Button
- Grove Buzzer
- Grove LED
- Grove Light Sensor
- Grove Piezo Vibration Sensor
- Grove Relay
- Grove Rotary Dial
- Grove Sound Sensor
- Grove Touch Sensor
- LED
- Makey Button
- Motor
- Servo
Support for devices that use Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) have a shared set of
drivers provided using the gobot/platforms/i2c
package:
- I2C <=> Drivers
- BlinkM
- Grove Digital Accelerometer
- Grove RGB LCD
- HMC6352
- JHD1313M1
- LIDAR-Lite
- MCP23017
- MMA7660
- MPL1150A2
- MPU6050
- Wii Nunchuck Controller
More platforms and drivers are coming soon...
Gobot includes a RESTful API to query the status of any robot running within a group, including the connection and device status, and execute device commands.
To activate the API, require the github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/api
package and instantiate the API
like this:
gbot := gobot.NewGobot()
api.NewAPI(gbot).Start()
You can also specify the api host and port, and turn on authentication:
gbot := gobot.NewGobot()
server := api.NewAPI(gbot)
server.Port = "4000"
server.AddHandler(api.BasicAuth("gort", "klatuu"))
server.Start()
You may access the robeaux React.js interface with Gobot by navigating to http://localhost:3000/index.html
.
