npm install node-sphero
Connect your Sphero to your laptop over bluetooth. At this time only OSX 10.8/OSX 10.9/Windows 7 has been tested. You will need at least
Add Sphero to your app:
var roundRobot = require('node-sphero');
var sphero = new roundRobot.Sphero();
sphero.on('connected', function(ball) {
ball.setRGBLED(0, 255, 0, false);
});
sphero.connect();Run that and your sphero should turn #00FF00... green.
Check out the examples for more ideas.
Node Sphero relies on node-serialport to communicate with the Sphero. Node-serialport is currently compatible with Linux, OSX 10.8 and up and Windows 7 and up running Node v0.8 and up. If you have issues installing Node Sphero and the errors messages say it cannot install node-serialport. Please checkout their installation section and then open an issue with that project.
The rest of the sphero bluetooth api functionality.
Awesome work by Bradley Meck who built the initial version.
