THE AUTONOMOUS
MOBILITY ENV.
Spiny IDE is a specialized fork of VS Code engineered exclusively for drone and robotics developers. Write code, connect via SSH, and monitor live telemetry—all within a single, unified interface.
import { Controller } from '@spiny/hardware';
const drone = new Controller({ url: 'spinyos.local' });
await drone.connect();
// Telemetry streaming channel ready
REIMAGINED FOR HARDWARE
We took the world's most popular editor and rebuilt its peripheral systems to interface seamlessly with autonomous hardware.
( 1 ) NATIVE SSH & TELEMETRY
No more external terminal windows. Connect to your drone, run commands, and view persistent real-time states directly inside the editor's live console. Connection drops? Spiny reconnects automatically the moment your vehicle returns to range.
( 2 ) DYNAMIC CONTROL PANEL
A customizable dashboard that replaces the blank welcome screen. Monitor vital systems and interact with your fleet the moment the IDE opens.
( 3 ) HARDWARE STATUS BAR
Battery, signal strength, and distance telemetry injected cleanly into the VS Code status bar. Context-aware and visible only when a device is active.
First-class API integration.
Spiny isn't just a physical wrapper; it comes with a deeply integrated TypeScript API. Import `@spiny/core` and gain immediate access to physical sensors, GPIO pins, and network interfaces without writing boilerplate middleware.
- ✓ Zero-config serial port access
- ✓ Pre-built React/Web UI widgets
- ✓ Typesafe telemetry streams
import { Motor, Network } from '@spiny/core';
export async function armSequence() {
if (await Network.ping() < 50) {
await Motor.armAll({ throttle: 0.1 });
console.log('Motors armed.');
}
}Never lose a session.
Drones fly out of range. Rovers go behind concrete walls. Spiny's terminal is built specifically for erratic connections. It caches your session, pauses stdin, and silently re-establishes the SSH link the millisecond your hardware is reachable again.
