Dancing with Robots
summary
Uses Cylon.js and Johnny-Five to control Arduinos via Fermata, blink LEDs in 17 lines, drive RGB strips and EL wire, and swap adapters (BeagleBone, Photon). Connects to Sphero and a Leap Motion (gesture-triggered playback) with flaky demos, pairs a PlayStation controller to a Parrot AR Drone that dances to Gangnam Style and occasionally crashes, rigs a servo dropper and sonar for “angry drones,” and builds a drinkybot with peristaltic pumps over MQTT plus a breathalyzer; many demos work, some fail.
