Using this exact code for my nodeJS file on my Intel Edison referenced from http://cylonjs.com/documentation/drivers/maxbotix/

The only difference is in the line edison: { adaptor: 'intel-iot' }

var Cylon = require('cylon');
Cylon.robot({
  connections: {
    edison: { adaptor: 'intel-iot' }
  },

  devices: {
    maxbotix: { driver: 'maxbotix' }
  },

  work: function(my) {
    every((1).seconds(), function() {
      my.maxbotix.range(function(data) {
        console.log("range: " + data);
      });
    });
  }
}).start();

I've done a npm install so all my modules are installed and doublechecked my wiring to ensure my sensor is connected properly.

Whenever I run the app I get the error

Error: No pin specified for Maxbotix. Cannot proceed

Any arduino, nodejs or cyclonjs experts able to suggest what is missing or wrong?

You need to specify the analog pin the maxbotix is connected to in the device definition, like this:

var Cylon = require('cylon');

Cylon.robot({
 connections: {
  edison: { adaptor: 'intel-iot' }
 },

 // should be one of the analog pins from 0 to  5
 // if using the arduino shield.
 devices: {
  maxbotix: { driver: 'maxbotix', pin: '1' }
 },

 work: function(my) {
  every((1).seconds(), function() {
   my.maxbotix.range(function(data) {
    console.log("range: " + data);
   });
  });
 }
}).start();

  • thanks getting closer. I see Initializing connections. Initializing devices. Starting connections. Starting devices. Working...and then nothing. I should be seeing the console.log message... – Bachalo Feb 13 '15 at 20:54
