Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

How to Install

Installing the cylon-digispark requires the libusb package already be installed.

OSX

To install libusb on OSX using Homebrew:

$ brew install libusb

Ubuntu

To install libusb on linux:

$ sudo apt-get install libusb-dev

Windows

No instructions yet...

Installing

Now you can install the module with:

$ npm install cylon cylon-digispark

If you're experiencing the AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'script_main' build issue, then please refer to this comment

How to Use

This small program lets you toggle an LED on and off.

var Cylon = require('cylon');

Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    digispark: { adaptor: 'digispark' }
  },

  devices: {
    led: { driver: 'led', pin: 2 }
  },

  work: function(my) {
    every((1).seconds(), function() { my.led.toggle() });
  }
}).start();

How to Connect

Upload the Littlewire Firmware to the Digispark

Connecting to the Digispark ATTiny-based USB development board is very easy using Cylon, first we need to install the littlewire protocol to communicate with the digispark, Cylon includes CLI commands to make the process of uploading Littlewire to the digispark as simple as possible, after Littlewire has been uploaded you can connect and communicate using Cylon.

OSX

IMPORTANT: 2012 MBP The USB ports on the 2012 MBPs (Retina and non) cause issues due to their USB3 controllers, currently the best work around is to use a cheap USB hub (non USB3) - we are working on future solutions. The hub on a Cinema display will work as well.

DO NOT plug in the Digispark to your computer's USB port until prompted.

Install the cylon-digispark module:

$ npm install cylon-digispark

After installing the cylon-digispark npm module run the following command to upload littlewire to the digispark, plug it to a USB port when prompted:

$ gort digispark upload

Once plugged in, use the cylon scan usb command to verify your connection info:

$ gort scan usb

Now use the ID info returned to find the product and vendor ID's required to establish a connection with the Digispark in your Cylon code.

That is it, you are set to start running Cylon digispark examples.

Ubuntu

DO NOT plug in the Digispark to your computer's USB port until prompted.

Install the cylon-digispark npm module:

$ npm install cylon-digispark

After installing the cylon-digispark module run the following command to upload littlewire to the digispark, plug it to a USB port when prompted. You might be asked to enter your sudo password, since uploading littlewire to the digispark requires some new udev rules, you can check and review them in /etc/udev/rules.d/49-micronucleus.rules after running the gort digispark set-udev-rules command:

$ gort digispark upload

Once plugged in, use the cylon scan usb command to verify your connection info:

$ gort scan usb

Now use the ID info returned to find the product and vendor ID's required to establish a connection with the Digispark in your cylon code.

That is it, you are set to start running Cylon digispark examples.

Thanks to @bluebie for the help with udev rules used when uploading littlewire to the digispark! (https://github.com/Bluebie/micronucleus-t85/wiki/Ubuntu-Linux)

Windows

We are currently working on docs and instructions for Windows. Please check back soon!

We're busy adding documentation to our web site at http://cylonjs.com/ please check there as we continue to work on Cylon.js
