Hello! Welcome to Learning JavaScript Robotics. In this book, you'll learn how to write code for Arduino and other robotics platforms in JavaScript using Johnny-Five. We'll cover the basics of Johnny-Five, input and output devices, and even movement devices such as servos and motors. Finally, we'll cover how to connect your bots to the Internet and move your Johnny-Five code between different platforms.
Chapter 1, Getting Started with JS Robotics, will get you started by setting up an Arduino Uno and exploring the world of NodeBots.
Chapter 2, Working with Johnny-Five, covers the basics of Johnny-Five, including Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL), and we will build our first project.
Chapter 3, Using Digital and PWM Output Pins, covers basic output devices, using both digital and PWM pins.
Chapter 4, Using Specialized Output Devices, covers specialized outputs that use one or multiple pins.
Chapter 5, Using Input Devices and Sensors, covers input devices using analog and GPIO pins.
Chapter 6, Moving Your Bot, covers basic servo and motor usage with Johnny-Five.
Chapter 7, Advanced Movement with the Animation Library, covers the Animation Library and how to create advanced movement schemes for your NodeBots.
Chapter 8, Advanced Components – SPI, I2C, and Other Devices, covers the use of I2C, SPI, and other advanced components with Johnny-Five.
Chapter 9, Connecting NodeBots to the World, and Where to Go Next, covers how to connect your NodeBots to the Internet and use Johnny-Five code with platforms other than Arduino.
