Overview of this book

There has been a rapid rise in the use of JavaScript in recent times in a variety of applications, and JavaScript robotics has seen a rise in popularity too. Johnny-Five is a framework that gives NodeBots a consistent API and platform across several hardware systems. This book walks you through basic robotics projects including the physical hardware builds and the JavaScript code for them. You'll delve into the concepts of Johnny-Five and JS robotics. You'll learn about various components such as Digital GPIO pins, PWM output pins, Sensors, servos, and motors to be used with Johnny-Five along with some advanced components such as I2C, and SPI. You will learn to connect your Johnny-Five robots to internet services and other NodeBots to form networks. By the end of this book, you will have explored the benefits of the Johnny-Five framework and the many devices it unlocks.

Chapter 2. Working with Johnny-Five

In this chapter, we'll begin working with Johnny-Five to build our own robotics projects. We'll cover what makes Johnny-Five a great library for starting with robotics, and we will build our first robot. We'll learn how we can manipulate this robot in real time from the command line—a feat not easily replicated on other platforms! By the end of this chapter, you'll have an open understanding of the software involved, which will serve as a great foundation for more complicated hardware builds.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • How a Johnny-Five program works
  • Understanding events in Johnny-Five
  • Wiring an LED and making it blink
  • Using Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL)
