# AnalogueIO
AnalogueIO is an interface between one or more analogue input devices connected to an Arduino and a web browser.
- Uses nodejs and johnny-five to talk to the Arduino
- Server running express
- pushes updates to the client using socket.io
- includes example front-end setup with gulp and sass and all that
This is built for an internal project where a collection of physical controller will eventually be used as controllers for a html5 game.
### Version
0.1
### Hardware Requirements
- Arduino (Mine is a uno)
- Input device (like a potensiometer, a joystick etc)
- Wires to connect this to the Arduino
- USB cable for the Arduino
### System Requirements
- Arduino IDE
- bower
- gulp
- node/npm
- python (Only for Windows)
- Visual Studio Express (Only for Windows)
- Windows SDK (Only for Windows)
### Installation
```sh
$ sudo npm install
```
```sh
$ bower install
```
### Wiring it up
- Download Arduino IDE if you haven't already and connect your Arduino via the USB cable
- Open Arduino IDE and open the standard firmata by clicking: File > Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata
- Pick your Arduino variant (e.g. Arduino Uno) via Tools > Board
- Select the port for your board via Tools > Serial Port
- Upload the program by clicking File > Upload
All you need to do next is connect your input device to the arduino's analogue input port (number 0).
This is described in great detail here: http://node-ardx.org/exercises/8
### Running the server
Running the server:
```sh
$ node server/server.js
```
To serve the front-end (when developing):
```sh
$ gulp serve
```
To compile the front-end (for deployment):
```sh
$ gulp build
```
