It depends on what it is - if it's SPI or I2C the commands are pretty similar, so all you're really doing is changing C to JavaScript. If it's moving pins up and down you need to give it a bit more thought because ideally you want to be using
setWatch
to respond to events on pins.A good start would be looking at the existing modules in: https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoDocs/tree/master/devices
In terms of development, what I tend to do is something like this in the right of the web terminal:
var exports = {}; exports.connect = function(pina, pinb, pinc) { ... } var foo = exports.connect(A1,A2,A4); foo...
And then I get everything working as I want, and when I'm done I copy the exports.connect bit into a JavaScript file. After that, you can put the JS file on a webserver (even if it's on your local PC) and access it via URL:
require("http://www.espruino.com/modules/DS18B20.js").connect(...)
Note that you have to have the webserver set up to serve up the file with the
Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
header so that JavaScript can access it correctly :(And when that works, you could add it to https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoDocs/tree/master/devices and issue me a pull request :)
How would you go about porting a library from Arduino to an Espruino module??
