Deploying and Building WebThings
summary
Live demo shows a private, local IoT stack: Mozilla’s WebThings Gateway runs on a Raspberry Pi, devices register by IP and store data locally; microcontrollers are programmed over USB using MicroBlocks and larger examples use the Moddable SDK to flash full JavaScript apps. Expect hands-on wiring, driver installs and flaky USB/Wi‑Fi during setup; LEDs, sensors and a touchscreen panel get built and — mostly — work once flashed, illustrating interoperability, low cost and the real setup friction.
