This repository contains helpful information for installation and code examples for the NodeBots session. Note that in the session whilst we'll be working with some servos and some LEDs, we unfortunately won't be able to build full bots due to the time.
The objective of this session is to achieve the following:
- Develop an understanding of the nodebots / johnny-five hardware stack.
- Have a dev environment fully capable of running that stack.
- Develop a network enabled device that can interact with a web service and actuate back into the real world.
If you want to bring your own equipment then that is fine but we will have kits available. To follow the examples you'll need to have:
- Arduino Uno or Nano.
- LM355 or LM35 temperature sensor.
- breadboard and jumper wires.
- Standard Servo.
- RGB and some standard LEDs.
Before the session ensure you install the following:
Clone this repo and install node dependencies:
git clone git@github.com:ajfisher/dddworkshop.git && cd dddworkshop
npm install
If you're on Mac or Windows, you'll need to install the drivers for the arduino board. They are in the drivers folder.
If you're on Linux, you don't need to do anything - the kernel drivers are already there if you're using any kernal from the last several years.
In this repository are several examples that compliment the workshop. There are three major areas:
- Hello, Hardware World
- Information Radiators
- Physical Sensors
Each of these folders contains sections underneath them specific to the example being used as illustrated below;
|--- 1_hello_world
|
|--- 2_info_radiator
| |--- twitter
| |--- gmail
| |--- weather
| |--- offline
|
|--- 3_sensors
| |--- temperature
| |--- light
Within each example is a README file which will contain the steps you need
to follow to replicate the example including the circuit diagram. From there
you can then run the appropriate example code as indicated in the README.
