Hardware Hacking for JS Developers
summary
Demos show JavaScript code of about a dozen lines using Johnny-Five to read a noisy button on an Arduino and send events over socket.io to control reveal.js slides; the button is debounced with underscore; an IRC-driven LightBot toggles LEDs from the cloud; an xbox controller maps thumbstick axes to LEDs and to an AR.Drone client that actually takes off and flies. All examples run live, require minimal wiring, and visibly work.
