Leap

The Leap Motion is a user-interface device that tracks the user's hand motions, and translates them into events that can control robots and physical computing hardware.

For more info about the Leap Motion platform click Leap Motion

How to Install

First install the Leap Motion Software

Now you can install the package with:

go get -d -u gobot.io/x/gobot/...

How to Use

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"gobot.io/x/gobot"
	"gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/leap"
)

func main() {
	leapMotionAdaptor := leap.NewAdaptor("127.0.0.1:6437")
	l := leap.NewDriver(leapMotionAdaptor)

	work := func() {
		l.On(l.Event("message"), func(data interface{}) {
			fmt.Println(data.(leap.Frame))
		})
	}

	robot := gobot.NewRobot("leapBot",
		[]gobot.Connection{leapMotionAdaptor},
		[]gobot.Device{l},
		work,
	)

	robot.Start()
}

How To Connect

OSX

This driver works out of the box with the vanilla installation of the Leap Motion Software that you get in their Setup Guide.

The main steps are:

• Run Leap Motion.app to open a websocket connection in port 6437.
• Connect your Computer and Leap Motion Controller.
• Connect to the device via Gobot.

Ubuntu

The Linux download of the Leap Motion software can be obtained from Leap Motion Dev Center (requires free signup)

The main steps are:

• Run the leapd daemon, to open a websocket connection in port 6437.
• Connect your computer and the Leap Motion controller
• Connect to the device via Gobot

Documentation

Overview

Package leap provides the Gobot adaptor and driver for the Leap Motion.

Installing:

* First install the [Leap Motion Software](https://www.leapmotion.com/setup). * Then install the package:

go get gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/leap

Example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"gobot.io/x/gobot"
	"gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/leap"
)

func main() {
	leapMotionAdaptor := leap.NewAdaptor("127.0.0.1:6437")
	l := leap.NewDriver(leapMotionAdaptor)

	work := func() {
		l.On(l.Event("message"), func(data interface{}) {
			fmt.Println(data.(leap.Frame))
		})
	}

	robot := gobot.NewRobot("leapBot",
		[]gobot.Connection{leapMotionAdaptor},
		[]gobot.Device{l},
		work,
	)

	robot.Start()
}

func NewDriver

func NewDriver(a *Adaptor) *Driver

NewDriver creates a new leap motion driver

Adds the following events:

"message" - Gets triggered when receiving a message from leap motion
"hand" - Gets triggered per-message when leap motion detects a hand
"gesture" - Gets triggered per-message when leap motion detects a hand

func (*Driver) Connection
