Node-isassemble Johnny-Five

Artwork by Mike Sgier

Johnny-Five is an Open Source, JavaScript Arduino programming framework, developed at Bocoup.

Johnny-Five does not attempt to provide "all the things", but instead focuses on delivering robust, reality tested, highly composable APIs that behave consistently across all supported hardware platforms. Johnny-Five wants to be a baseline control kit for hardware projects, allowing you the freedom to build, grow and experiment with diverse JavaScript libraries of your own choice. Johnny-Five couples comfortably with:

• Popular application libraries such as Express.js and Socket.io.
• Fellow hardware projects like ar-drone, Aerogel and Spheron
• Bluetooth game controllers like XBox Controller and DualShock
• IoT frameworks, such as Octoblu

...And that's only a few of the many explorable possibilities. Check out these exciting projects: node-pulsesensor, footballbot-workshop-ui, nodebotui, dublin-disco, node-slot-car-bot, servo-calibrator, node-ardx, nodebot-workshop, phone-home, purple-unicorn, webduino, leapduino, lasercat-workshop, simplesense, five-redbot, robotnik, the-blender

IO Plugins

IO Plugins allow Johnny-Five code to communicate with any non-Arduino based hardware in whatever language that platforms speaks! For non-Arduino based projects, the following platform IO Plugins are available:

• Beagle Bone
  • BeagleBone-IO
• Intel Galileo
  • Galileo-IO
• Pinoccio
  • Pinoccio-IO
• Raspberry Pi
  • Raspi-IO
• Spark Core
  • Spark-IO
• LightBlue Bean
  • Bean-IO
• IO Board (Generic IO Plugin class to make your own!)
  • IOBoard

Guidance

For step-by-step examples, including an electronics primer, check out Arduino Experimenter's Guide for NodeJS by @AnnaGerber

Here is a list of prerequites for Linux, OSX or Windows.

Check out the bluetooth guide if you want to remotely controll your robot.

Setup and Assemble Arduino

• Recommended Starting Kit: Sparkfun Inventor's Kit
• Download Arduino IDE
• Plug in your Arduino or Arduino compatible microcontroller via USB
• Open the Arduino IDE, select: File > Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata
• Click the "Upload" button.

If the upload was successful, the board is now prepared and you can close the Arduino IDE.

Hey you, here's Johnny!

Source Code:

git clone git://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five.git && cd johnny-five

npm install

npm package:

Install the module with:

npm install johnny-five

Johnny-Five is...

var five = require("johnny-five"),
    // or "./lib/johnny-five" when running from the source
    board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {

  // Create an Led on pin 13 and strobe it on/off
  // Optionally set the speed; defaults to 100ms
  (new five.Led(13)).strobe();

});

Watch it here!

Note: Node will crash if you try to run johnny-five in the node REPL, but board instances will create their own contextual REPL. Put your script in a file.
