ev3

Node.js for Lego Mindstorms EV3.

Installation

$ npm install ev3

Usage

var ev3 = require('ev3');

Battery

ev3.battery.getVoltage() => number

var voltage = ev3.battery.getVoltage();

Button

ev3.button.[down | enter | escape | left | right | up] => EventEmitter

ev3.button.escape.on('press', function () {
    ...
});

ev3.button.escape.on('release', function () {
    ...
});

ev3.button.[down | enter | escape | left | right | up].isPressed() => boolean

var pressed = ev3.button.down.isPressed();

Motor

ev3.Motor.getSpeed(portName:string) => number

Returns the speed in degrees per second.

var speedA = ev3.Motor.getSpeed('A');
var speedB = ev3.Motor.getSpeed('B');
var speedC = ev3.Motor.getSpeed('C');
var speedD = ev3.Motor.getSpeed('D');

ev3.Motor.getTachoCount(portName:string) => number

var tachoCountA = ev3.Motor.getTachoCount('A');
var tachoCountB = ev3.Motor.getTachoCount('B');
var tachoCountC = ev3.Motor.getTachoCount('C');
var tachoCountD = ev3.Motor.getTachoCount('D');

ev3.Motor(portNames:string) => Motor

var motor = new ev3.Motor('ABCD');
var motorAB = new ev3.Motor('AB');
var motorC = new ev3.Motor('C');

motor.resetTachoCount([callback:Function]) => void

motor.resetTachoCount(); // synchronous form

motor.resetTachoCount(function (error) {
    ...
}); // asynchronous form

motor.setPolarity(polarity:number[, callback:Function]) => void

Polarity:

• -1 makes the motor run backward
• 1 makes the motor run forward
• 0 makes the motor run in the opposite direction

motor.setPolarity(-1); // synchronous form

motor.setPolarity(-1, function (error) {
    ...
}); // asynchronous form

motor.setPower(power:number[, callback:Function]) => void

Power: -100%..100%

motor.setPower(-100); // synchronous form

motor.setPower(-100, function (error) {
    ...
}); // asynchronous form

motor.setSpeed(speed:number[, callback:Function]) => void

Speed: -1000..1000 degrees per second

motor.setSpeed(-1000); // synchronous form

motor.setSpeed(-1000, function (error) {
    ...
}); // asynchronous form

motor.start([callback:Function]) => void

motor.start(); // synchronous form

motor.start(function (error) {
    ...
}); // asynchronous form

motor.stop([callback:Function]) => void

motor.stop(); // synchronous form

motor.stop(function (error) {
    ...
}); // asynchronous form

motor.stopAndBrake([callback:Function]) => void

motor.stopAndBrake(); // synchronous form

motor.stopAndBrake(function (error) {
    ...
}); // asynchronous form
