Workshop Weekend: Node.js for embedded systems (Patrick Mulder)

This workshop will walk you through examples on how JavaScript can be used for programming connected devices.
First, you'll learn about some basic with an Arduino board, such as how to use serial communication or program components with Johnny-Five. We then look at HTTP inside and outside of devices. To get real-time updates from devices, let's look at usage of websockets. Last, you'll learn more about Noble and Bleno to explore Bluetooth connectivity.
Intel Edison boards and some components will be provided for this workshop. There will also be a number of robots (http://hackarobot.com/) that can be controlled with JavaScript.

Level: Beginner – basic knowledge of node and npm required
