Columbus Arduino Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts - CARPE

For most developers embedded development can seem intimidating if not imposible.

Traditionally you needed to know C or another low-level language, and getting your machine set up to push the code to the device was daunting.

Arduino made a step forward by abstracting much of that away, but for many, the language and development environment were still a barrier. Since many new developers are getting their feet wet doing web development, Javascript and Node are familiar to them and present a lower barrier of entry for embedded development.

Tessel provides a micro-controller that will run Javascript and Rust natively, utilizing the many resources available through NPM to create powerful, yet easy to build embedded applications. Join us to learn more about the Tessel development platform and how you can use your JavaScript skills to break into embedded development!
