Tinkerforge

Bindings and easy-to-use wrapper classes to make Crystal code interact with TinkerForge components.

Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     tinkerforge:
       github: mathalaxy/tinkerforge
       branch: master
   

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "tinkerforge"

staple = TF::Staple.new
staple.connect ip_address: "localhost", port: 4223

if staple.connected?
  staple.devices.each do |dev|
    case dev
    when TF::MasterBrick
      puts "Master of the universe!"
    when TF::RotaryPotiBricklet
      puts "Rotary Poti shows #{dev.position}"
    end
  end
end

Development

Currently, there is only support for a very limited set of TF components, because these are what I use in other projects. Supported bricks/bricklets are:

• MasterBrick
• SilentStepperBrick
• RotaryPotiBricklet

If you would like to add support for other components, please feel free to contribute!
