# Button
For this example, we're going to be connecting to an Arduino, and when a putton
on it's pressed, an LED will be toggled.
Before you start this example, make sure you've got the `cylon-firmata` module
installed.
We'll get started by importing the Cylon module:
var Cylon = require('cylon');
Now that we have Cylon imported, let's start making our robot:
Cylon.robot({
Our robot will have a connection to an Arduino, and communicate with it via the
Firmata protocol:
connections: {
arduino: { adaptor: 'firmata', port: '/dev/ttyACM0' }
},
This time, our robot will have two devices, an LED and a button:
devices: {
led: { driver: 'led', pin: 13 },
button: { driver: 'button', pin: 2 }
},
Our robot has very simple work, it will just toggle the LED whenever the button
sends the 'push' event:
work: function(my) {
my.button.on('push', my.led.toggle);
}
And with all that done, we can start our robot:
}).start();
