Gobot (http://gobot.io/) is a framework using the Go programming language (http://golang.org/) for robotics, physical computing, and the Internet of Things.
It provides a simple, yet powerful way to create solutions that incorporate multiple, different hardware devices at the same time.

Support for many devices that use General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) have
a shared set of drivers provided using the gobot/platforms/gpio package:
- GPIO <=> Drivers - Analog Sensor - Button - Direct Pin - Digital Sensor - Direct Pin - Grove Button - Grove Buzzer - Grove LED - Grove Light Sensor - Grove Piezo Vibration Sensor - Grove Relay - Grove Rotary Dial - Grove Sound Sensor - Grove Touch Sensor - LED - Makey Button - Motor - Servo
Support for devices that use Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) have a shared set of
drivers provided using the gobot/platforms/i2c package:
- [I2C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%C2%B2C) <=> [Drivers](https://github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/tree/master/platforms/i2c)
- BlinkM
- Grove Digital Accelerometer
- Grove RGB LCD
- HMC6352

- MPU6050
- Wii Nunchuck Controller
More platforms and drivers are coming soon...
Gobot includes a RESTful API to query the status of any robot running within a group, including the connection and device status, and execute device commands.
To activate the API, require the github.com/hybridgroup/gobot/api package and instantiate the API like this:
gbot := gobot.NewGobot()
api.NewAPI(gbot).Start()You can also specify the api host and port, and turn on authentication:
gbot := gobot.NewGobot()
server := api.NewAPI(gbot)
server.Port = "4000"
server.Username = "Gort"
server.Password = "klaatu"
server.Start()You may access the robeaux React.js interface with Gobot by navigating to http://localhost:3000/index.html.
