goduino

Go's package for Arduino

Goduino uses Firmata protocol for Arduino

Prerequisites

Download and install the Arduio IDE
Plug in your Arduino via USB
Open the Arduino IDE and open: File > Examples > StandardFirmata
Select Arduino´s board: Tools > Board
Select Arduino´s serial port: Tools > Serial Port
Click the Upload button

Installation

	go get github.com/robotic-framework/goduino

Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/robotic-framework/goduino"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	arduino := goduino.New("myArduino", "COM1")
	err := arduino.Connect()
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	defer arduino.Disconnect()

	arduino.PinMode(13, goduino.Output)
	for {
		arduino.DigitalWrite(13, 1)
		arduino.Delay(time.Millisecond * 500)
		arduino.DigitalWrite(13, 0)
		arduino.Delay(time.Millisecond * 500)
	}
}

Note: For this example the selected serial port is COM1, be sure your Arduino is connected on this serial port.
