[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/bytespider/Torque.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/bytespider/Torque)

A library for controlling servos connected to a SSC or Torobot servo controller board. API modelled after [Johnny-Five](https://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five)

Install

-------

    npm install torque

Example

-------

```javascript

var torque = require('torque');

var board = new torque.Board({

    port: '/path/to/fd'

});

board.on('ready', function () {

    var servo = new torque.Servo({

        pin: 1, 

        pwmRange: [ 600, 2400 ] // defaults to 1000 - 2000

    });

    servo.move(45, 500); // rotate to 45 degrees, and take 500ms to do so

    

    // wait 2 seconds then...

    board.wait(2000, function () {

        servo.move(130); // rotate to 130 degrees, take the default time of 100ms to do so

    });

});

```

`Torque.Board` provides `loop(ms, callback)` and `wait(ms, callback)`, however if you need to use more complicated event loop

programming such as queues or repeat x times, please feel free to use [compulsive](https://npmjs.org/package/compulsive).
