nodebotui's Introduction

NodebotUI

A client/server framework for rapid prototyping of browser controlled robotic systems. The goal is a complete Bootstrap-like experience for assembling HTML that talks to Johnny-Five via socket.io. The user should only have to edit HTML to wire-up a basic interface.

This is just a bare-bones POC right now. If you'd like to try it out head over to the Getting Started wiki page. You can find more details in the Documentation

##Notes

This is just a POC for the client and server js structure. There is no CSS or custom controls.
I've only added support for LED's and servos on a single board, and only the on(), off() and move() methods at that. Additional device types and methods should be pretty easy.
The first browserDevice is implemented (orientation)
Make sure you wait for board ready before you click the checkbox or move the slider.
There really isn't much to the server code. The heavy lifting is all in nodebotui-client.
There is also an api for the browser that can be used from the console or in other JS.

##Goals of this POC

Really I just want to run the high level structure of nodebotui.js and nodebotui-client.js by some developers who are smarter than me.

##To Do

Capture/queue calls from client that happen before the board is ready.
Initialize devices based on default values in HTML file (i.e. if the box is checked to begin with, make sure the LED is initially on)
