robot.setMotor("left", 1); // Turn on the left motor
robot.setMotor("right", 1, 1); // Turn on the right motor

Input

var robot = require("raspirobot"); // Import the library
robot.setup(); // Set up GPIO ports

robot.setSwitchCallback(1, function(value) // Set the switch callback to a function

Methods

A list of all the available raspirobot methods can be found below

setup() - Sets up the GPIO ports for SparkFun's RaspiRobot board.

setGPIO(gpio) - Set the GPIO variable to be used (needs to be functionally identical to the default library).

getGPIO() - Get the GPIO variable being used.

setMotor(side, value, [direction]) - Set the motor to on or off (1 or 0) using an optional motor direction.

getMotor(side) - Returns information about the motor in the format {"on": true, "direction": 0}.

setLED(led, value) - Set the LED to on or off (1 or 0).

getLED(led) - Returns the LEDs current value (1 or 0).

setOC(oc, value) - Set the OC to on or off (1 or 0).

getOC(oc) - Returns the OCs current value (1 or 0).

setSwitchCallback(switch, callback) - Adds a callback to the switch that is called on value change.
