Skynet Blink

First, let's import Cylon:

var Cylon = require('../..');

Now that we have Cylon imported, we can start defining our robot

Cylon.robot({

Let's define the connections and devices:

  connections: [
    {
      name: 'arduino',
      adaptor: 'firmata',
      port: '/dev/ttyACM0'
    },
    {
      name: 'skynet',
      adaptor: 'skynet',
      uuid: "96630051-a3dc-11e3-8442-5bf31d98c912",
      token: "2s67o7ek98pycik98f43reqr90t6s9k9"
    }
  ],

  device: { name: 'led13', driver: 'led', pin: 13, connection: 'arduino' },

Now that Cylon knows about the necessary hardware we're going to be using, we'll tell it what work we want to do:

  work: function(my) {
    console.log("Skynet is listening...");

    my.skynet.on('message', function(data) {
      console.log(data);
      var data = JSON.parse(data);
      if(data.message.red == 'on') {
        my.led13.turnOn()
      }
      else if(data.message.red == 'off') {
        my.led13.turnOff()
      }
    });
  }

Now that our robot knows what work to do, and the work it will be doing that hardware with, we can start it:
