paplin | NodeJS library for controlling the Maplin Robot Arm

paplin is a JavaScript library. paplin has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. You can install using 'npm i paplin' or download it from GitHub, npm.

All of the movement commands are time based, i.e., the arm moves for a given number of milliseconds before stopping. It's worth noting that although two moves can be performed for the same amount of time, the distance traveled won't necessarily be the same. For example moving the shoulder down for 1s and then up for 1s will not necessarily return the arm to the same place. The reason for this is that the speed at which the arm moves is not consistent. If the arm is moving down then it will tend to move faster as it will be assisted by gravity, and when moving up it will be going against gravity so will move slower.
