Rise of the Nodebots

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

Claims JavaScript can program microcontrollers in an hour using Node.js and Johnny Five with a USB-connected Arduino, sample code to blink an LED and read a photoresistor, and a kit of board breadboard wires resistors and LEDs. Setup requires npm install johnny-five, flashing Firmata to the board, and wiring LED to pin 13 and a photoresistor to an analog pin. About half of attendees finish a working blinking LED and the demo becomes a nightlight; library used is Johnny-Five.
