Serial Servo Controller (SSC)

The main objective of this repository (module), it is compile and have in only one place all the imformation required to use a SSC from computer, like design, software and other kind of things. also the propouse it's have code to manage servos.

TODOs

- Improve events management

- High level commands configuration &&
# Example
const robot = new Robot("commands.yaml");
robot.do('move-arm');
robot.do('stand-up');

## When commands.yaml is
defaults:
  time: 0
commands:
  move-arm: sequence of actions ... to-be-define maybe same to key-frames.json
  stand-up: sequence of actions ...
  ...

# yep, you can configure with a file a robot and this provides high level commands

Install this is required to have a way to control the SSC from computer https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx

How Can I use this?

Install

$ npm i --global serial-servo-control

Show available devices (Serial Ports)

$ ssc devices

Show available examples

$ ssc list

Execute examples

$ ssc run open
$ ssc run interactive
$ ssc run sequence --input key-frames.json # JSON OR YAML files

# Sequence YAML File Example
# First executes pin "0" to pwm "500", after "2000" milliseconds from start
# Second executes pin "0" to pwm "2500" and pin "1" to pwd "500",
# after "4000" milliseconds from previus step

  defaults:
    time: 2000
  keyframes:
    -
      time: 2000
      actions:
        0: 500
    -
      time: 4000
      actions:
        0: 2500
        1: 500
