Using JavaScript in tandem with popular platforms like Arduino, Tessel 2 and Raspberry Pi
Introduction to creating and controlling embedded projects
Designing and assembling straightforward robots and gadgets
Crash course in basic electronics
Over a dozen hands-on projects

You can use JavaScript - the language of the web - to make things happen in the real world. JavaScript controls hordes of small robots, creative maker projects, and IoT products. Inexpensive platforms like the Raspberry Pi and Tessel 2 are powerful little computers in their own right, with the oomph to run Node.js on-board, and you can also use JavaScript to control simpler boards like the ubiquitous Arduino Uno.

With the Node.js ecosystem at hand, hardware prototyping gets fun, intuitive and fast. Plug stuff in anything from motors to touch screens to soil moisture sensors and you're off! Let's build something!

JavaScript on Things is your first step into the exciting and downright entertaining world of programming for small electronics. If you know enough JavaScript to hack a website together, you'll be making things bleep, blink and spin faster than you can say "nodebot".

This fully-illustrated, hands-on book shows you how to get going with platforms like Arduino, Tessel, and Raspberry Pi. You'll get a thorough crash course in basic electronics and go in-depth and step-by-step, building little projects that light up, sense the environment around you, make noise, exchange data, move around, and more.

You'll even build a wirelessly-controlled robot. Yay! Learning something truly useful has never been quite this much fun.

Written for readers with intermediate JavaScript and Node.js skills. No experience with embedded systems or robotics required.

Lyza Danger Gardner has been web developer for over 20 years. She's part of the nodebots community and is a contributor to the johnny-five Node.js library.
