ms-iot-wiring v0.2.0

ms-iot-wiring

Wiring API implementation for Node.js

This package allows you to control the Intel Galileo natively with Node.js by porting some of the Microsoft.IoT.Galileo.NativeWiring SDK found here: https://github.com/ms-iot/galileo-sdk

Building From Source

• Clone this repo
• Open the solution file
• Download the Node.js sources
• Unzip the sources and place them in your root c:\ directory
• Make sure python is installed
• Build the sources by running the vcbuild.bat file in the sources.
• In visual studio select properties (most of this should already be done)
  • In the VC++ Directories > Include Directories add
    • %node source%\src
    • %node source%\deps\v8\include
    • %node source%\deps\uv\include
  • We must also link against the node.lib file that was built when we compiled node sources. in Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies add * %user directory%\.node-gyp\%node version%\ia32\node.lib
  • In General change Target Extension to .node
• Build the project
• Copy the ms-iot-wiring.node folder from the Debug directory to your Galileo.
• Include the ms-iot-wiring.node file in the same directory as your application file.

var galileo = require("./ms-iot-wiring");

Publishing the Module

• Run npm pack in the folder that contains the package.json
• This will create a file (ms-iot-wiring-version.tgz)
• Run npm login to login with your npmjs.org credentials
• Run npm publish to publish this to npm

Using the Module

This module can be required at the top of your node application.

HelloBlinky

var galileo = require("./ms-iot-wiring");

var led = 13;

//setup
galileo.pinMode(led, 1);

// loop
while (1) {
   galileo.digitalWrite(led, 0);
   galileo.delay(500);
   galileo.digitalWrite(led, 1);
   galileo.delay(500);
}

API

This exposes GPIO, Analog, I2C, and SPI APIs currently.

Examples for using these APIs can be found in test.js

ioInit()

Initializes board this must be run first
