UPM (Useful Packages & Modules) Sensor/Actuator repository for MRAA
==============
The UPM repository provides software drivers for a wide variety of commonly
used sensors and actuators. These software drivers interact with the underlying
hardware platform (or microcontroller), as well as with the attached sensors,
through calls to MRAA APIs.
These packages contain sources for the respective UPM modules and will compile
locally on the target using node-gyp when installed. They support Node.js 0.10
or newer.

The UPM modules have a hard dependency on MRAA, thus you will have to install
it first. Also, make sure Node can find MRAA by updating the
NODE_PATHvariable if necessary. A global installation is preferred:
npm install mraa -g
After this, to install a UPM module using npm simply type:
npm install jsupm_ -g

Unfortunately, due to the way node-gyp builds MRAA and UPM, the platform
initialization hooks are lost. This means you will have to do it manually,
and require MRAA
before you load a UPM module:
``
require('mraa');
var lib = require('jsupm_');

we do have some guidelines if you would like to contribute your modules to the library.

Even if we try our best not to, every once in a while we are forced to modify
our API in a way that will break backwards compatibility. If you find yourself
unable to run code that was working fine before a library update, make sure
you check the
API changes section first.
