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 Description
There 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 for
Hands-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.
