Introduction to JavaScript Robotics

" summary

Covers concrete choices and working demos: Arduino Uno is an 8 MHz, 32 KB board that runs Firmata so Node.js on a laptop controls LEDs and motors via Johnny-Five; code to blink an LED is ~25 lines and works over USB. Tessel 2 runs Node.js untethered and deploys zipped modules over USB/Wi‑Fi; an ambient module reports light and sound levels in the demo. ESP8266 is a tiny Wi‑Fi board for ~$5 and one analog input; the Tiara project uses ESP8266 + MQTT/Azure to change RGB LEDs from chat and the per‑bracelet prototype sends kitten pictures on sustained elevated heart rate.
