Robotic JavaScript

on YouTube ↗33m

" summary

Node.js code talks to Arduino over a USB serial link and a single line of JavaScript opens the device so a browser UI toggles pins via websockets; Bluetooth pairing is flaky but serial plus Chris’s serialport module works reliably. Demos include a web-controlled disco light and a blender triggered through a relay that actually switches 220V and clicks audibly, and a Wii‑remote motion game that produced a top score of 33 points. Source and ArduinoJS are on GitHub for immediate reuse.
