Workshop: Intro to Tessel & Johnny-Five - Intermediate

A SkillsCast for this session is not available.

The Tessel 2 is an open-source hardware and software platform that can be programmed with JavaScript out of the box! Johnny-Five is a JavaScript robotics and IoT library, like jQuery for hardware. Bringing those 2 pieces together is one of the greatest ways to start building your very first electronics project!

Using the materials in the Johnny-Five Inventor's Kit, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13847, workshop attendees will go from blinking an LED to building a web-connected services for monitoring a sensor of their choosing. They'll gain knowledge about breadboard prototyping, polarity and resistance, interrupts, and a few hardware communication protocols, like SPI.

Having a knowledge of JavaScript and Node will be helpful for working with the web-service parts of the workshop but not directly required for attending.

Pre-Requisites: - Node.js version 4 or 6 - npm install -g t2-cli
