JavaScript Robotics is on the rise. Rick Waldron, the lead author
of this book and creator of the Johnny-Five platform, is at the
forefront of this movement. Johnny-Five is an open source
JavaScript Arduino programming framework for robotics. This book
brings together fifteen rock star programmers, each creating a
unique Johnny-Five robot step-by-step, and offering tips and tricks
along the way. Experience with JavaScript is a prerequisite.
Leverage Raspberry Pi 3 and different JavaScript platforms to build
exciting Robotics projects Key Features Build robots that light up
and make noise Learn to work with Raspberry Pi 3 and JavaScript
Connect your Johnny-Five projects to external APIs and create your
own IoT Book DescriptionThere has been a rapid increase in the use
of JavaScript in hardware and embedded device programming.
JavaScript has an effective set of frameworks and libraries that
support the robotics ecosystem. Hands-On Robotics with JavaScript
starts with setting up an environment to program robots in
JavaScript. Then, you will dive into building basic-level projects
such as a line-following robot. You will walk through a series of
projects that will teach you about the Johnny-Five library, and
develop your skills with each project. As you make your way through
the chapters, you'll work on creating a blinking LED, before moving
on to sensors and other more advanced concepts. You will then
progress to building an advanced-level AI-enabled robot, connect
their NodeBots to the internet, create a NodeBots Swarm, and
explore MQTT. By the end of this book, you will have gained
hands-on experience in building robots using JavaScript What you
will learn Install and run Node.js and Johnny-Five on Raspberry Pi
Assemble, code, and run an LED project Leverage JavaScript
libraries to build exciting robots Use sensors to collect data from
the world around you Employ servos and motors to make your project
move Add internet capabilities to your Johnny-Five project Who this
book is forHands-On Robotics with JavaScript is for individuals who
have prior experience with Raspberry Pi 3 and like to write
sketches in JavaScript. Basic knowledge of JavaScript and Node.js
will help you get the most out of this book.
Design, build, and program your own remarkable robots with
JavaScript and open source hardware About This Book * Learn how to
leverage Johnny-Five's Read, Eval, Print Loop, and Event API to
write robot code with JavaScript * Unlock a world of exciting
possibilities by hooking your JavaScript-programmed robots up to
the internet and using external data and APIs * Move your project
code from the Arduino Uno to a multitude of other robotics
platforms Who This Book Is For If you've worked with Arduino before
or are new to electronics and would like to try writing sketches in
JavaScript, then this book is for you! Basic knowledge of
JavaScript and Node.js will help you get the most out of this book.
What You Will Learn * Familiarise yourself with Johnny-Five Read,
Eval, and Print Loop (REPL) to modify and debug robotics code in
real time * Build robots with basic output devices to create
projects that light up, make noise, and more * Create projects with
complex output devices, and employ the Johnny-Five API to simplify
the use of components that require complex interfaces, such as I2C
* Make use of sensors and input devices to allow your robotics
projects to survey the world around them and accept input from
users * Use the Sensor and Motor objects to make it much easier to
move your robotics projects * Learn about the Animation API that
will allow you to program complex movements using timing and key
frames * Bring in other devices to your Johnny-Five projects, such
as USB devices and remotes * Connect your Johnny-Five projects to
external APIs and create your own Internet of Things! In Detail
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. Style and
approach This step-by-step guide to the Johnny-Five ecosystem is
explained in a conversational style, packed with examples and tips.
Each chapter also explores the Johnny-Five documentation to enable
you to start exploring the API on your own.
