March Ember Chicago Meetup

Hello Emberists!

I'm excited to say that we have something a little out of the box for our March Meetup - sponsored by Microsoft!

Topic: Level Up From Hardware Noob to Hardware Node with Gabrielle Crevecoeur.

Abstract: Go one step beyond the browser and leverage your existing JavaScript skills to explore the possibilities of hardware. Do you have an Arduino gathering dust, just waiting for an application beyond the hello world of blinking an LED? It’s time to take that hardware off the shelf, and learn how to create interactive experiences in the physical world. This session will explore how to utilize the popular Node robotics frameworks to control an Arduino, showing you how to get quickly up and running in this new and emerging world of hardware. In this session, we will go over how to get started in building a NodeBot, and then we will demo an actual NodeBot project. This is an ideal introductory session for those curious on how to get started with some of the popular micro-controllers and microprocessors using JavaScript.

Food and beverage will be provided.

This event is being hosted by one of our Meetup sponsors, Morningstar!
