Setup and Assemble Arduino

• Recommended Starting Kit: Sparkfun Inventor's Kit
• Download Arduino IDE
  • OSX
  • Linux 32 bit
  • Linux 64 bit
  • Windows support coming soon.
• Plug in your Arduino or Arduino compatible microcontroller via USB
• Open the Arduino IDE, select: File > Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata
  • Make sure that the version of Firmata is 2.2. There are known issues with 2.3
• Click the "Upload" button.

If the upload was successful, the board is now prepared and you can close the Arduino IDE.

Attention There is a known issue in where the Firmata protocol layer has issues freeing itself on the serial line which results in the program hanging in when it tries to connect. For now, the only way to get around the issue is to send a SIGINT ^C to kill the hanging program and simply run it again.

Hey you, here's Johnny!

Source Code:

git clone git://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five.git && cd johnny-five

npm install

npm package:

Install the module with:

npm install johnny-five

Johnny-Five is...

var five = require("johnny-five"),
    // or "./lib/johnny-five" when running from the source
    board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {

  // Create an Led on pin 13 and strobe it on/off
  // Optionally set the speed; defaults to 100ms
  (new five.Led(13)).strobe();

});
