Tapster PBR

Controller software library for the Tapster PBR robot

Install:

Run in a terminal window:

git clone https://github.com/tapsterbot/pbr.git
cd pbr/software
npm install

Run:

Run in a terminal window:

node bot.js

If everything is working, this is what the terminal window will look like:

$ node bot.js 
1549566236894 Available /dev/tty.usbmodem14401  
1549566236905 Connected /dev/tty.usbmodem14401  
1549566240779 Repl Initialized 
>> 

Try Demo Code:

After bot.js is running and you see the >> prompt, try pasting in some sample code from pbr.js, then hit Enter or Return:

>> power = {
...   tap: function() { s1.to(70); setTimeout( () => s1.to(90), 200) },
...   longPress: function() { s1.to(70) },
...   release: function() { s1.to(90) }
... }
{ tap: [Function: tap],
  longPress: [Function: longPress],
  release: [Function: release] }
>> 

Now try running a command:

>> power.tap()

At this point, one of the servos on your PBR should quickly toggle back and forth.
