nanishin/goduino

Golang firmata package for Arduino (Work in progress)

goduino

Go's package for Arduino

Goduino uses Firmata protocol for Arduino

Referenced from platforms/firmata of gobot

Prerequisites

1. Download and install the Arduio IDE
2. Plug in your Arduino via USB
3. Open the Arduino IDE and open: File > Examples > StandardFirmata
4. Select Arduino´s board: Tools > Board
5. Select Arduino´s serial port: Tools > Serial Port
6. Click the Upload button

Installation

	go get github.com/argandas/goduino

Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/argandas/goduino"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	arduino := goduino.New("myArduino", "COM1")
	err := arduino.Connect()
	defer arduino.Disconnect()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
	}
	arduino.PinMode(13, goduino.Output)
	for {
		arduino.DigitalWrite(13, 1)
		arduino.Delay(time.Millisecond * 500)
		arduino.DigitalWrite(13, 0)
		arduino.Delay(time.Millisecond * 500)
	}
}

Note: For this example the selected serial port is COM1, be sure your Arduino is connected on this serial port.

Stable versions

This package has been tested on Go v1.4.2 & Firmata v2.4
