Cylon.js For Sphero BLE Robots
Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT).
This repository contains the Cylon.js drivers to connect to the Sphero BB-8 and Sphero Ollie Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) robots from Sphero (http://www.sphero.com/).
It was formerly named cylon-ollie
, but is now renamed cylon-sphero-ble
to better fit the new expanded functionality.
It uses the Sphero.js node module (https://github.com/orbotix/sphero.js) created by @orbotix thank you!

Want to use the Go programming language to power your robots? Check out our sister project Gobot (http://gobot.io).
How to Install
$ npm install cylon cylon-sphero-ble
How to Use
var Cylon = ; Cylonstart;
How to Connect
Before you will be able to program the BB-8/Ollie, you will need to determine the BLE address
of your robot. One way to do this, is to use the cylon-ble-scan
command line utility installed as part of cylon-ble.
Once you know your address
substitute it into your code, and away you go!
You can run the examples in this repo like this:
