A local, practically-RESTful API on the Sphero robotic ball by Orbotix.
It's based on the spheron module (registered in npm) and uses the Express framework and RAML.
Only tested on a Mac running Mavericks version of OSX and a Sphero 2.0.
npm install
You must also have paired your Sphero with your Mac via bluetooth.
When your Sphero is on, it'll flash three colors, e.g. Yellow Green Yellow.
Look in your /dev folder for something like /dev/cu.Sphero-YGY-AMP-SPP
and note that 'YGY' is replaced with the three colors your Sphero is flashing;
e.g. if it's flashing Red Blue Red you'll find /dev/cu.Sphero-RBR-AMP-SPP.
Open up app.js and change the spheroPort accordingly.
node app
