Aiko: Arduino Framework
This project is part of the Aiko Platform
Contents
Introduction ------------ A small modular, event-driven framework for structuring Arduino sketches, such that individual device drivers can be easily componentized and combined into a single application.Aiko allows you to write event-driven code:
#include <AikoEvents.h>
using namespace Aiko;
int ledPin = 13;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Events.addHandler(blink, 1000); // Every 1000ms
}
void loop() {
Events.loop();
}
void blink() {
static boolean on = HIGH;
digitalWrite(ledPin, on);
on = !on;
}
Writing individual device drivers as event-driven functions makes it simpler to create device specific modules that can be shared with others and easier to then combine and integrate them with less code changes.
Community --------- Please join the developer community on the [Aiko-Platform Google Group](http://groups.google.com/group/aiko-platform) and subscribe to the email list.Report bugs on our GitHub bug tracker
Download -------- The Aiko Arduino framework is a library that requires the Arduino IDE or compiler tool chain. Feedback and issues ------------------- Tracking is managed via GitHub ... Installation ------------ Change into your Arduino libraries folder and use git to clone the project.On a Mac this looks like:
cd /Applications/arduino-0022/hardware/libraries
git clone git://github.com/geekscape/aiko_arduino.git
On Linux, this will directory will be wherever you install your Arduino software.
Alternatively you can download a tarball or ZIP archive from the Aiko repository by clicking the "download" link at:
http://github.com/geekscape/aiko_arduino/tree/master
Note: Since Arduino IDE 0017, you can create a "libraries/" directory and "git clone" the "aiko_arduino" repository in that directory.
Upgrading --------- To upgrade to the latest version:cd /Applications/arduino-0022/hardware/libraries/aiko_arduino
git pull
make clean
(If you're on a Mac, you'll need XCode installed.)
Modules ------- - **Callback** - Easy to use function and method callbacks. - **Events** - Schedule regular callbacks so you can easily deal with a bunch of devices connected to your Arduino. - **SExpression** - Parse simple SExpressions. Think of this as the Arduino equivalent of JSON. - **Timing** - Accurate timing, including better replacements for the standard Arduino timing functions.See the corresponding files in the docs directory for more info on each module.
Known problems -------------- - TO DOWritten by Andy Gelme and Pete Yandell.
