Gobot (http://gobot.io/) is a framework using the Go programming language (http://golang.org/) for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things.

It provides a simple, yet powerful way to create solutions that incorporate multiple, different hardware devices at the same time.

Gobot has a extensible system for connecting to hardware devices. The following robotics and physical computing platforms are currently supported:

• Ardrone <=>Library
• Arduino <=>Library
• Beaglebone Black <=>Library
• Digispark <=>Library
• Intel Edison <=>Library
• Joystick <=>Library
• Leap Motion <=>Library
• MavLink <=>Library
• MQTT <=>Library
• Neurosky <=>Library
• OpenCV <=>Library
• Pebble <=>Library
• Raspberry Pi <=>Library
• Spark <=>Library
• Sphero <=>Library

Support for many devices that use General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) havea shared set of drivers provided using the cylon-gpio module:

• GPIO <=>Drivers
  • Analog Sensor
  • Button
  • Direct Pin
  • Digital Sensor
  • Direct Pin
  • LED
  • Makey Button
  • Motor
  • Servo

Support for devices that use Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) have a shared set ofdrivers provided using the gobot-i2c module:

• I2C <=>Drivers
  • BlinkM
  • HMC6352
  • LIDAR-Lite
  • MPL1150A2
  • MPU6050
  • Wii Nunchuck Controller

More platforms and drivers are coming soon...

Gobot includes a RESTful API to query the status of any robot running within a group, including the connection and device status, and execute device commands.

To activate the API, require thegithub.com/hybridgroup/gobot/api package and instantiate theAPI like this:

gbot:=gobot.NewGobot()api.NewAPI(gbot).Start()

You can also specify the api host and port, and turn on authentication:

gbot:=gobot.NewGobot()server:=api.NewAPI(gbot)server.Port="4000"server.Username="Gort"server.Password="klaatu"server.Start()

You may access therobeaux React.js interface with Gobot by navigating tohttp://localhost:3000/index.html.

We're busy adding documentation to our web site athttp://gobot.io/ please check there as we continue to work on Gobot
