Bocoup on Air: Making Robots with JavaScript
In case you missed it, Rick Waldron and I got together recently to talk about Johnny Five, a library that lets you control an Arduino using JavaScript. Rick showed off some of his Johnny Five creations — including a dancing robot — and I got to geek out a bit more about shift registers and […]

JavaScript: Arduino Bumper Switch Controlling a Led Tutorial
Welcome to the third tutorial in our series geared towards Arduino programming on Node.js, using the Johnny-Five framework. Get caught up here. Johnny-Five is a Firmata based Arduino programming framework. See: JavaScript: Arduino Programming on Node.js. In the first tutorial you created a program to control a servo via REPL; then, in the second tutorial […]

JavaScript: Arduino Servo Control Tutorial
This is the first tutorial in a new series geared towards Arduino programming on Node.js, using the Johnny-Five framework. Johnny-Five is a Firmata based Arduino programming framework. See: JavaScript: Arduino Programming on Node.js. At the end of the first article, I showed a simple program that would strobe an LED at the default rate of […]

JavaScript: Arduino Programming on Node.js
Today is Tuesday, May 15th 2012. Just over a year ago, I discovered node-serialport by Chris Williams and went immediately to the closest Microcenter and purchased the Getting Started with Arduino kit. Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested […]
