NAME
Device::Firmata - module for controlling Firmata devices
DESCRIPTION
This module allows a computer running Perl to connect to Firmata devices (Arduinos and compatible, including ESP8266), either via serial I/O (RS-232, USB, etc.) or TCP/IP (LAN, WiFi). Protocol details can be found at https://github.com/firmata/protocol.

Version 0.69
SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use warnings;
use Device::Firmata::Constants qw/ :all /;
use Device::Firmata;
use Time::HiRes 'sleep';
$|++;
my $led_pin = 13;
my $device = Device::Firmata->open('/dev/ttyUSB0') or die "Could not connect to Firmata Server";
$device->pin_mode($led_pin=>PIN_OUTPUT);
my $iteration = 0;
while (1) {
my $strobe_state = $iteration++%2;
$device->digital_write($led_pin=>$strobe_state);
sleep 0.5;
}METHODS
open ( serialPort , [opts] )
Establish a serial connection with a Firmata device. The first parameter is the name of the serial device connected with the Firmata device, e.g. '/dev/ttyUSB0' or 'COM9'. The second parameter is an optional hash of parameters for the serial port. The parameter baudrate is supported and defaults to 57600. Returns a Device::Firmata::Platform object.
listen ( host, port, [opts] )
Start a TCP server bound to given local address and port for the Arduino to connect to. Returns a Device::Firmata::IO::NetIO object. An implementation example can be found in file examples/example-tcpserver.pl.
EXAMPLES
In the folder examples you will find more than 15 implementation examples for various Firmata I/O operations including digital I/O, PWM, stepper and encoder as well as bus I/O for I2C and 1-Wire.
