Controlling the BLE Bot 9000 with Javascript
Details
Thanks to our sponsor, @intel, we are able to present to you part two of the Intel BLE Bot 9000. In part one (https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Arduino-Meetup/events/235853825/), we assembled the chassis and learned some arduino101 basics. In part two, we'll continue the instruction with a lesson in controlling the arduino101 using Javascript.

Hey Hacksters!
First thing, I'd like to welcome you to the group. We know that sometimes finding time for hacking is difficult. Our objective is to create a fun environment where you can escape from daily life and build projects! Our hope is to create a bimonthly event where you can get away from your worries and get immersed in hacking!
Ada Developer Academy lends us our space. They are a coding bootcamp for women that aims to help close the gender gap in tech. If you'd like to learn more about them, visit their website here (http://adadevelopersacademy.org/).
This time we will control our BLE Boot 9000 with JavaScript!!
In the last workshop, we built and controlled out BLE Bot 9000 with an app on our smartphone - this time we'll advance a bit at the same time as we reinforce these concepts. Our BLE Bot 9000 is controlled by the Arduino 101, which has an Intel Curie microprocessor. Among its qualities it boasts an accelerometer, gyrosocope and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
All of the materials will be provided in the workshop, with the exception of a few named below.
During this workshop we will learn how to establish BLE connectivity with the Arduino 101 and our script on an Intel Edison or Raspberry Pi 3, as well as from our PC using Node.js.
I present to you, in all its glory, the BLE Bot 9000!

Space is limited to 20, and there will be 10 kits.
Please do the following
• Create an account on Hackster.io (https://www.hackster.io/users/sign_up?source=nav)
• Install Node.js y and the noBLE (https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble) library
• Bring protoboard, cables, other electronics (optional)
• Bring a USB B cable for arduino (optional)
• Bring your own AA batteries
As always, we'll have our hardware library for you play with at the event. Among its many treasures it contains:
•Particle Photon
• Intel Edison
• Arduino MKR1000
• Cypress PSoC CY8CKIT-059
• Sparkfun Blink Board
• Arduino 101
If you attended the first version of the workshop on December 6th, you'll get a chance to bring home your very own BLE Bot 9000!
See you soon!
