Title

Streaming and Programming Nodebots over the web

Description

Everyone loves robots, but not everyone has an Arduino at home. This talk explains how to convert from software developer to hardware developer, and how to control an Arduino using NodeJS and Johnny-Five. We then build up the pieces of a remote robot-programming website: a video broadcast over WebRTC, a set of coding blocks from Google Blockly, and an Arduino-controlling server using the Johnny-Five and Node-Serial libraries.

This is based on three successful robot-streaming experiments which I ran on JustinTV and UStream before WebRTC was available

• CrowdBot (using Wiring and Python server) https://github.com/mapmeld/crowdbot
• CrowdBotBlock (NodeJS server and Blockly) https://github.com/mapmeld/crowdbotblock
• Noonniep (NodeJS server, Neo4j database, and Blockly) https://github.com/mapmeld/noonniep

I haven’t done a talk about these projects before.

Learning objectives

• WebRTC webcast
• Arduino with Johnny-Five
• Google Blockly block programming environment
