Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics and physical computing using Node.js
This repository contains the Cylon adaptor for the Tessel JavaScript microcontroller.

Follow the installation instructions detailed here
We've provided a repo containing an example cylon-tessel project.
$ git clone https://github.com/hybridgroup/cylon-example-tessel.git my-tessel-project
$ cd my-tessel-project
$ npm install
$ tessel run blink.js
If the blue light starts to blink, then you're all set!
This small program lets you toggle an LED on and off.
var Cylon = require('cylon');
Cylon.robot({
connections: {
tessel: { adaptor: 'tessel' }
},
devices: {
led: { driver: 'led', pin: 1 }
},
work: function(my) {
every((1).seconds(), function() { my.led.toggle() });
}
}).start();
This small program shows how to use the Tessel Climate module.
var Cylon = require('cylon');
Cylon.robot({
connections: {
tessel: { adaptor: 'tessel', port: 'A' }
},
devices: {
climate: { driver: 'climate-si7005' }
},
work: function(my) {
my.climate.on('error', function (err) {
console.log(err)
});
every((1).seconds(), function() {
my.climate.readHumidity(function (err, humid) {
console.log('Humidity:', humid.toFixed(4) + '%RH');
});
my.climate.readTemperature('f', function (err, temp) {
console.log('Degrees:', temp.toFixed(4) + 'F');
});
});
}
}).start();
As mentioned in the How To Install section, connecting to the Tessel is easy. You just need to follow the provided instructions on the Tessel site.
If you've already done this, your Tessel should already be connected and ready to run Cylon.JS code.
The Tessel has a variety of custom hardware modules specifically for use with Tessel. Cylon.js has support for the following Tessel modules:
In addition to the custom Tessel modules, you can also use the standard Cylon.js GPIO and I2C drivers:
