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
```
## Draft - Video Tutorial

## CP210x USB to UART Bridge Virtual COM Port (VCP) Drivers
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
```
