C.H.I.P. Community Coders Unite!

C.H.I.P.sters are porting the Adafruit GPIO library, the Johnny-Five robotics framework, and Gobot to C.H.I.P.!

We’re excited that the community is working to get these projects fully working on C.H.I.P.. All three make it easier for people to write software that use C.H.I.P. to drive motors, blink and dim LEDs, and interface with buttons. Simply put, they make building projects a faster and more fun process. 

You should note, these projects are all works in progress. If you’re interested in helping out, the best way to get involved is to hop on the BBS or reach out to the developer directly.
