Leapmotion Arduino

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: 'leapmotion', adaptor: 'leapmotion' },
    { name: 'arduino', adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' }
  ],

  devices: [
    { name: 'leapmotion', driver: 'leapmotion', connection: 'leapmotion' },
    { name: 'led', 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) {
    my.leapmotion.on('frame', function(frame) {
      frame.hands.length > 0 ? my.led.turnOn() : my.led.turnOff();
    });
  }

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

}).start();
