+# Pure Spheron
+
+Here's an example of communicating with a Sphero solely using Spheron. Before
+you get started, make sure you've installed the `spheron` module with NPM.
+
+First, let's make sure we've got Spheron loaded:
+
+    spheron = require 'spheron'
+
+Next, we'll get our colors from Spheron's toolbelt:
+
+    COLORS = spheron.toolbelt.COLORS
+
+Let's also keep a reference to the port we'll be using to talk to the Sphero, as
+well as the Sphero connection itself:
+
+    sphero = spheron.sphero()
+    spheroPort = "/dev/rfcomm0"
+
+Now let's define the event listeners for our Sphero. When the connection is
+opened, the sphero will let us know about it, and change it's color to green,
+along with enabling collision detection.
+
+    sphero.on 'open', ->
+      console.log 'EVENT OPEN!'
+      sphero.configureCollisionDetection 0x01, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x20, 0x50
+      sphero.setRGB COLORS.GREEN, false
+
+The rest are basic events, logging that a `close`, `error`, or `end` event has
+been fired:
+
+    sphero.on 'close', -> console.log 'EVENT CLOSE!'
+    sphero.on 'end', -> console.log 'EVENT END!'
+    sphero.on 'error', -> console.log 'EVENT ERROR!'
+
+For the `notification` and `message` events, though, we're going to log their
+accompanying data to the console as well:
+
+    sphero.on 'notification', (packet) ->
+      console.log "Packet contents: #{packet}"
+
+    sphero.on 'message', (packet) ->
+      console.log "Packet contents: #{packet}"
+
+And that wraps up our event listeners. All that's left to do is open
+a connection to the Sphero:
+
+    sphero.open spheroPort
