Torque

A library for controlling servos connected to a SSC or Torobot servo controller board. API modelled after Johnny-Five

Install

npm install torque

Example

var torque = require('torque');
var board = new torque.Board({
    port: '/path/to/fd'
});

board.on('ready', function () {
    var servo = new torque.Servo({
        pin: 1, 
        pwmRange: [ 600, 2400 ] // defaults to 1000 - 2000
    });
    servo.move(45, 500); // rotate to 45 degrees, and take 500ms to do so
    
    // wait 2 seconds then...
    board.wait(2000, function () {
        servo.move(130); // rotate to 130 degrees, take the default time of 100ms to do so
    });
});

Torque.Board provides loop(ms, callback) and wait(ms, callback), however if you need to use more complicated event loop programming such as queues or repeat x times, please feel free to use compulsive.
