sense-joystick

A node module to interface with the sense-hat library on the raspberry pi.

Interface

The module exposes a single function; getJoystick, which returns a promise that resolves with an event emitter. The events that can be subscribed to are:

• press - Emitted when a joystick direction is pressed
• release - Emitted when a joystick direction is released
• hold - Emmitted periodically when a joystick direction is held down

Each event is coupled with a direction, which is one of:

• left
• right
• up
• down
• click (When pressing the joystick inwards)

Examples

Capturing button presses

senseJoystick = require('sense-joystick');

senseJoystick.getJoystick()
.then((joystick) => {
	joystick.on('press', (direction) => {
		console.log('Got button press in the direction: ', direction);
	}
});
