Code Sample for SoftRobotics

This was built and tested on OSX 10.11.6, NodeJS 7.7.1 and an Arduino Uno v3

This project illustrates how a website can be used to rotate a servo in realtime on an Arduino using WebSockets and serial communication. This is accomplished by writing a custom Node addon in C++11/Boost and connecting an Arduino to the same machine that the remote webserver is on.

sketch.cpp

This is the source code to be deployed to an Arduino Uno v3

arduino.cpp

This is a Node addon that allows NodeJS to connect and send serial messages to a locally connected Arduino. Must be compiled with node-gyp

server.js

This is a NodeJS web server written in Koa that provides static hosting as well as a websocket connection at /socket
