Particle

The Particle Photon and Particle Electron are connected microcontrollers from Particle (http://particle.io), the company formerly known as Spark Devices. The Photon uses a Wi-Fi connection to the Particle cloud, and the Electron uses a 3G wireless connection. Once the Photon or Electron connects to the network, it automatically connects with a central server (the "Particle Cloud") and stays connected so it can be controlled from external systems, such as a Gobot program. To run Gobot programs please make sure you are running default Tinker firmware on the Photon or Electron.

API Reference

How to Install

Installing Gobot with Particle support is pretty easy.

go get -d -u gobot.io/x/gobot/...

How to Use

package main

import (
        "time"

        "gobot.io/x/gobot"
        "gobot.io/x/gobot/drivers/gpio"
        "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/particle"
)

func main() {
        core := particle.NewAdaptor("device_id", "access_token")
        led := gpio.NewLedDriver(core, "D7")

        work := func() {
                gobot.Every(1*time.Second, func() {
                        led.Toggle()
                })
        }

        robot := gobot.NewRobot("spark",
                []gobot.Connection{core},
                []gobot.Device{led},
                work,
        )

        robot.Start()
}

Drivers

Available drivers for the Particle platform are listed below, the drivers contain detailed documentation and examples of what kinds of physical computing (using Gobot and Golang) you can be doing:
