Controlling Tinkerkit's Braccio with firmata.js

[cnizo]

Hello! I am sorry if this is an obvious question, but I have been trying to control Braccio from Tinkerkit with firmata.js, but the servoWrite function has no effect on it. I have uploaded StandardFirmata on Arduino UNO. From the Braccio library for Arduino I saw that the servos are attached to pins 11, 10, 9, 6, 5 and 3, so can't I just use servoWrite with this pins and the desired angles?

Thanks!

It certainly looks like it should work. Could you share your code? It might make it easier to diagnose.

This is what I tried to do. I dig a little and when I run the code the function "Board.prototype.pwmWrite" on firmata.js is called.

`var Board = require('firmata');

Board.requestPort(function (error, port) {
  if (error) {
    console.log(error);
    return;
  }

  board = new Board(port.comName, { samplingInterval: 1000 });

  board.on('open', function () {
    console.log('  board opened');
    alert('board opened')
  });

  board.on('ready', function () {
    console.log('  board ready');
    board.pinMode(11,board.MODES.SERVO);
    board.pinMode(10,board.MODES.SERVO);
    board.pinMode(9, board.MODES.SERVO);
    board.pinMode(6, board.MODES.SERVO);
    board.pinMode(5, board.MODES.SERVO);
    board.pinMode(3, board.MODES.SERVO);

    board.servoWrite(11,85);
    board.servoWrite(10,85);
    board.servoWrite(9,85);
    board.servoWrite(6,85);
    board.servoWrite(5,85);
    board.servoWrite(3,60);
  });
});`
