Artoo Drivers For GPIO Devices

This repository contains the Artoo (http://artoo.io/) standard drivers for analog, digital, PWM, and servo devices.

Artoo is a open source micro-framework for robotics using Ruby.

For more information abut Artoo, check out our repo at https://github.com/hybridgroup/artoo

Installing

gem install artoo-gpio

Using

Normally, this gem is automatically included as part of using an Artoo adaptor that can connect to your hardware. For example, artoo-arduino and artoo-digispark both make use of the drivers in this gem.

Here is the "led" driver being used in an Arduino:

require 'artoo'

connection :arduino, :adaptor => :firmata, :port => '127.0.0.1:8023'
device :led, :driver => :led, :pin => 13

work do
  every 1.second do
    led.toggle
  end
end

Here is the same "led" driver being used by a Digispark.

require 'artoo'

connection :digispark, :adaptor => :littlewire, :vendor => 0x1781, :product => 0x0c9f
device :led, :driver => :led, :pin => 1

work do
  every 1.second do
    led.toggle
  end
end

Devices supported

The following GPIO hardware devices have Artoo driver support:

Analog sensor
Button
Continuous Servo
LED
MakeyButton (high-resistance switch influenced by the MakeyMakey (http://makeymakey.com))
Maxbotix ultrasonic range finder
Motor (DC)
Servo

Contributing

All active development is in the dev branch. New or updated features must be added to the dev branch. Hotfixes will be considered on the master branch in situations where it does not alter behaviour or features, only fixes a bug.
All patches must be provided under the Apache 2.0 License
Please use the -s option in git to "sign off" that the commit is your work and you are providing it under the Apache 2.0 License
Submit a Github Pull Request to the appropriate branch and ideally discuss the changes with us in IRC.
We will look at the patch, test it out, and give you feedback.
Avoid doing minor whitespace changes, renamings, etc. along with merged content. These will be done by the maintainers from time to time but they can complicate merges and should be done seperately.
Take care to maintain the existing coding style.
Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality.
All pull requests should be "fast forward"
- If there are commits after yours use “git rebase -i <new_head_branch>”
- If you have local changes you may need to use “git stash”
- For git help see progit which is an awesome (and free) book on git
