ioboard
An extendable implementation of Johnny Five's IO Plugins.
Implements all required and optional methods, along with the required constants - MODE
, HIGH
, LOW
, etc.
You should configure the relevant pins of your board in your constructor, then emit the ready event.
E.g.:
var util = require('util'),
IOBoard = require('ioboard');
MyIO = function(path, callback) {
// call super constructor
IOBoard.call(this);
// connect to hardware and emit "connected" event
this.emit("connected");
// .. configure pins
this._pins.push(..);
// all done, emit ready event
this.emit("ready");
// finally call the passed callback
callback();
}
util.inherits(IO, IOBoard);
Finally implement any of the IO Plugin methods of your choosing:
// implement digitalWrite
MyIO.prototype.digitalWrite = function(pin, value) {
..
};
Logging
By default IOBoard will print a message when every non-implemented method is invoked. To prevent this, set the quiet
property of the super constructor args to true:
MyIO = function(path, callback) {
// call super constructor
IOBoard.call(this, {
..
quiet: true
});
..
}
util.inherits(IO, IOBoard);
