Hi,
Is there any way to connect gobot to arduino (or edisson) via network (Wifi, ethernet) instead only serial usb?
If not, is this contemplated for a near future? (it is a blocking issue for my project).

Thank you and nice work.
Keep it going guys!

Kind of a late reply, but Gobot 1.1 now has support for the firmata.TCPAdaptor() which works with the ESP8266 and WiFi/Ethernet connected Arduinos.

That seems an answer for my question above. Will look into that.

I'm think my question still holds.
from the documentation

"NewButtonDriver returns a new ButtonDriver with a polling interval of 10 Milliseconds given a DigitalReader and pin."
So firmata with websockets? 

Greets,

You would need to have a full webserver on the microcontroller to support a websocket connection between your computer and the microcontroller vs. the pure TCP socket used by TCPFirmata which is probably lighter weight.
