How to Install

Install the module with:

$ npm install cylon cylon-skynet

How to Use

var Cylon = require("cylon");

Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    arduino: { adaptor: "firmata", port: "/dev/tty.usbmodem1411" },
    skynet: { adaptor: "skynet", uuid: "SKYNET_UUID", token: "SKYNET_TOKEN" }
  },

  devices: {
    led: { driver: "led", pin: 13, connection: "arduino" }
  },

  work: function(my) {
    my.skynet.on("message", function(data) {
      console.log(data);

      if (data.payload.red === "on") {
        my.led.turnOn();
      } else if (data.payload.red === "off") {
        my.led.turnOff();
      }
    });
  }
}).start();

How to Connect

First, you need to register a device on the Skynet network. You can do this with a curl command similar to this one:

$ curl -X POST http://meshblu.octoblu.com/devices

This will return the new registration information for the device, most importantly the uuid and token:
