Serial Servo Controller (SSC)

Build Status Version dependencies Status devDependencies Status Downloads MIT License

The main objective of this repository (module), it is compile and have in only one place all the imformation required to use a SSC from computer, like design, software and other kind of things. also the propouse it's have code to manage servos.

TODOs

- Improve events management

- High level commands configuration &&
# Example
const robot = new Robot("commands.yaml");
robot.do('move-arm');
robot.do('stand-up');

## When commands.yaml is
defaults:
  time: 0
commands:
  move-arm: sequence of actions ... to-be-define maybe same to key-frames.json
  stand-up: sequence of actions ...
  ...

# yep, you can configure with a file a robot and this provides high level commands

Install this is required to have a way to control the SSC from computer https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

How Can I use this?

Install

$ npm i --global serial-servo-control

Show available devices (Serial Ports)

$ ssc devices

Show available examples

$ ssc list

Execute examples

$ ssc run open
$ ssc run interactive
$ ssc run sequence --input key-frames.json # JSON OR YAML files
# Sequence YAML File Example
# First executes pin "0" to pwm "500", after "2000" milliseconds from start
# Second executes pin "0" to pwm "2500" and pin "1" to pwd "500",
# after "4000" milliseconds from previus step

  defaults:
    time: 2000
  keyframes:
    -
      time: 2000
      actions:
        0: 500
    -
      time: 4000
      actions:
        0: 2500
