Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) using Node.js.

This module provides drivers for i2c devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C). You must use this module alongside Cylon.js adaptors that have i2c support, such ascylon-firmata.

Want to use Ruby on robots? Check out our sister project Artoo (http://artoo.io)

Want to use the Go programming language to power your robots? Check out our sister project Gobot (http://gobot.io).

Install the module with:npm install cylon cylon-i2c

Note you must also install whichever adaptor you want to use, such as:npm install cylon-firmata

varCylon=require('cylon');// Initialize the robotCylon.robot({connections:{arduino:{adaptor:'firmata',port:'/dev/ttyACM0'}},devices:{blinkm:{driver:'blinkm'}},work:function(my){varlit=false;my.blinkm.off()every((1).seconds(),function(){if(lit===true){lit=false;my.blinkm.rgb(0xaa,0,0);}else{lit=true;my.blinkm.rgb(0,0,0);}});}}).start();

Cylon.js has a extensible system for connecting to hardware devices. The following 15 different i2c devices are currently supported:

• BlinkM RGB LED
• BMP180 Barometric Pressure + Temperature sensor
• Direct I2C
• HMC5883L 3-Axis Digital Compass
• HMC6352 Digital Compass
• JHD1313M1 LCD with RGB Backlight
• LCD
• LIDAR-Lite
• LSM9DS0G 9 Degrees of Freedom IMU
• LSM9DS0XM 9 Degrees of Freedom IMU
• MAG3110 3-Axis Digital Magnetometer
• MPL115A2 Digital Barometer & Thermometer
• MPU6050 Triple Axis Accelerometer and Gyro
• PCA9544a 4-Channel I2C Mux
• PCA9685 16-Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo Driver

More drivers are coming soon...
