It provides a simple, yet powerful way to create solutions that incorporate multiple, different hardware devices at the same time.
Want to use Ruby or Javascript on robots? Check out our sister projects Artoo (http://artoo.io) and Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com/)
## Getting Started
Install the library with: `go get -u github.com/hybridgroup/gobot`
Then install additional libraries for whatever hardware support you want to use from your robot. For example, `go get -u github.com/hybridgroup/gobot-sphero` to use Gobot with a Sphero.
## Examples
```go
package main
import (
"github.com/hybridgroup/gobot"
"github.com/hybridgroup/gobot-sphero"
)
func main() {
spheroAdaptor := new(gobotSphero.SpheroAdaptor)
spheroAdaptor.Name = "Sphero"
spheroAdaptor.Port = "127.0.0.1:4560"
sphero := gobotSphero.NewSphero(spheroAdaptor)
sphero.Name = "Sphero"
connections := []interface{} {
spheroAdaptor,
}
devices := []interface{} {
sphero,
}
work := func(){
gobot.Every("2s", func(){
sphero.Roll(100, uint16(gobot.Random(0, 360)))
})
}
robot := gobot.Robot{
Connections: connections,
Devices: devices,
Work: work,
}
robot.Start()
}
```
## Hardware Support
Gobot has a extensible system for connecting to hardware devices. The following robotics and physical computing platforms are currently supported:
