Speed to Value Workshop - Sphero In Action

1. Create a folder where you want to download the NPM nodules, for example:

mkdir robot && cd robot

2. Download the required modules:

npm install sphero serialport

3. Connect your Bluetooth to your Sphero

4. Run app.js as root, e.g. sudo node app.js

5. From POSTMAN, SOAPUI, etc. send a POST request to port 3001 to the following APIs:

   • To make shapes: http://IP:3001/sphero/shape/{shape}/color/{color}
   • To Change Colours: http://10.0.0.97:3001/sphero/color/{color} - Notice it is color, not colour… This is just to be consistent with the Sphero internal APIs

Supported shapes and colors:

• Colors: blue, pink, yellow, green, red, surprise (this is a random one every time)
• Shapes: Square, Triangle, Line (it goes north and comes back)

That's it! Enjoying seeing your Sphero in Action via NodeJS...
