#1-led This app allows you to control an LED

##Setting up the hardware

I used an arduino mega for this example, but any of the boards supported by johnny-five should work.

Connect an LED directly to pin 12

##Setting up the code

To run, first clone the repo and npm install the example directory

git clone https://github.com/sofroniewn/electron-johnny-five-examples
cd electron-johnny-five-examples/1-led
npm install

Unfortunately the serial port may not work right away and might need to be rebuilt

./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild

At this point if you try to starting the app with

npm start

You may get an error if the path to serialport.node is wrong

Uncaught Error: Cannot find module '/Users/sofroniewn/github/electron-johnny-five-examples/1-led/node_modules/johnny-five/node_modules/serialport/build/Release/node-v47-darwin-x64/serialport.node'

This can easily be fixed by

mv ./node_modules/johnny-five/node_modules/serialport/build/Release/electron-v0.36-darwin-x64/ ./node_modules/johnny-five/node_modules/serialport/build/Release/node-v47-darwin-x64/

You're now ready to run the app!

##Running the app After setting up the hardware and the code you are now ready to run the app with

npm start

You should see a screen that looks like this:

The Click me! button is currently disabled and the board status light in the top right corner is grey while the app tries to connect to the board.

Once the board has been found and is ready the status light will turn green and Click me! button will become enabled. The screen should now look like this:

If you press Click me! the LED should turn on!!!
