Code for Displaying Time and Temperature

JavaScript
var lcd = new jsUpmI2cLcd.Jhd1313m1(6, 0x3E, 0x62);

var groveSensor = require('jsupm_grove');

var today = setInterval(function ()
    {
    var d = new Date();
    var b= d.toTimeString();
    lcd.setColor(0, 255, 0);

// Go to the 2nd row, 6th character (0-indexed)

    lcd.setCursor(0,0);
    lcd.write(b);
     var celsius = temp.value();
        var fahrenheit = celsius * 9.0/5.0 + 32.0;
        var t = Math.round(fahrenheit);
        lcd.setCursor(1, 1);
        lcd.write(t+" *F");
       v.saveValue(t);
}, 1000);

Code for Sending SMS

JavaScript
var twilio = require('twilio');


// Create a new REST API client to make authenticated requests against the

// twilio back end

var TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = '' ;

var TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN = '';

var OUTGOING_NUMBER = '';

var TWILIO_NUMBER = '';


var client = new twilio.RestClient(TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN);


// Pass in parameters to the REST API using an object literal notation. The

// REST client will handle authentication and response serialzation for you.

client.sms.messages.create({

    to:OUTGOING_NUMBER,

    from:TWILIO_NUMBER,

    body:'Hi, sending from my Edison SmartWatch'

}, function(error, message) {

    // The HTTP request to Twilio will run asynchronously. This callback

    // function will be called when a response is received from Twilio

    // The "error" variable will contain error information, if any.

    // If the request was successful, this value will be "falsy"

    if (!error) {

        // The second argument to the callback will contain the information

        // sent back by Twilio for the request. In this case, it is the

        // information about the text messsage you just sent:

        console.log('Success! The SID for this SMS message is:');

        console.log(message.sid);


        console.log('Message sent on:');

        console.log(message.dateCreated);

    } else {

        console.log('error: ' + error.message);

    }

});

Code for Accelerometer and Gyroscope

JavaScript
var accelrCompassSensor = require('jsupm_lsm303');

// Instantiate LSM303 compass on I2C

var myAccelrCompass = new accelrCompassSensor.LSM303(0);


var successFail, coords, outputStr, accel;

var myInterval = setInterval(function()

{

        // Load coordinates into LSM303 object

        successFail = myAccelrCompass.getCoordinates();

        // in XYZ order. The sensor returns XZY,

        // but the driver compensates and makes it XYZ

        coords = myAccelrCompass.getRawCoorData();


    // Print out the X, Y, and Z coordinate data using two different methods

        outputStr = "coor: rX " + coords.getitem(0)

                                      + " - rY " + coords.getitem(1)

                                      + " - rZ " + coords.getitem(2);

        console.log(outputStr);

        outputStr = "coor: gX " + myAccelrCompass.getCoorX()

                               + " - gY " + myAccelrCompass.getCoorY()

                               + " - gZ " + myAccelrCompass.getCoorZ();

        console.log(outputStr);


    // Get and print out the heading

        console.log("heading: " + myAccelrCompass.getHeading());


    // Get the acceleration

        myAccelrCompass.getAcceleration();

        accel = myAccelrCompass.getRawAccelData();

    // Print out the X, Y, and Z acceleration data using two different methods

        outputStr = "acc: rX " + accel.getitem(0)

                               + " - rY " + accel.getitem(1)

                               + " - Z " + accel.getitem(2);

        console.log(outputStr);

        outputStr = "acc: gX " + myAccelrCompass.getAccelX()

                               + " - gY " + myAccelrCompass.getAccelY()

                               + " - gZ " + myAccelrCompass.getAccelZ();

        console.log(outputStr);

        console.log(" ");

}, 1000);


// Print message when exiting

process.on('SIGINT', function()

{

        clearInterval(myInterval);

        myAccelrCompass = null;

        accelrCompassSensor.cleanUp();

        accelrCompassSensor = null;

        console.log("Exiting");

        process.exit(0);

});

Code for turning on the flashlight with button press

JavaScript
var groveSensor = require('jsupm_grove');

// Create the button object using GPIO pin 0

var button = new groveSensor.GroveButton(2);

// Read the input and print, waiting one second between readings


function readButtonValue() {
    console.log(button.name() + " value is " + button.value());
    var v=button.value();
    if(v==1){ led.on();}
    if(v==0){ led.off();}
}
setInterval(readButtonValue, 1000);
