Radar

Run this example from the command line with:

node eg/radar.js

  child = require("child_process"),
  http = require("http"),
  socket = require("socket.io"),
  fs = require("fs"),

  }

  fs.readFile(path, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
      res.writeHead(500);
      return res.end("Error loading " + path);
    }

    res.writeHead(200);
    res.end(data);
  });
}

app = http.createServer(handler);
app.listen(8080);

io.set("log level", 1);

board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {
  var center, degrees, step, facing, range, scanner, soi, ping, last;


  // Open Radar view
  child.exec("open http://localhost:8080/");

  // Starting scanner scanning position (degrees)
  degrees = 1;

  // Servo scanning steps (degrees)
  step = 1;

  // Current facing direction
  facing = "";

  last = 0;

  // Scanning range (degrees)
  range = [0, 170];

  // Servo center point (degrees)
  center = range[1] / 2;

  // ping instance (distance detection)
  ping = new five.Ping(7);

  // Servo instance (panning)
  scanner = new five.Servo({
    pin: 12,
    range: range
  });

  this.repl.inject({
    scanner: scanner
  });

  // Initialize the scanner servo at 0°
  scanner.min();

  // Scanner/Panning loop
  this.loop(100, function() {
    var bounds, isOver, isUnder;

    bounds = {
      left: center + 5,
      right: center - 5
    };

    isUnder = degrees <= scanner.range[0];

    // Calculate the next step position

      }
    }

    // Update the position by N° step
    degrees += step;

    // Update servo position
    scanner.to(degrees);
  });

    console.log("Socket Connected");

    soi = socket;

    ping.on("data", function() {

      if (last !== degrees) {
        io.sockets.emit("ping", {
          degrees: degrees,
          distance: this.cm
