Johnny-Five is an Open Source, JavaScript Arduino programming framework, developed at Bocoup.
Why JavaScript? NodeBots: The Rise of JavaScript Robotics

For non-Arduino based projects, the following platform IO Plugins are available:
- Beagle Bone
- Intel Galileo
- Pinoccio
- Raspberry Pi
- Spark Core
- IO Board (Generic IO Plugin class to make your own!)
Documentation for the Johnny-Five API can be found here
For step-by-step examples, including an electronics primer, check out Arduino Experimenter's Guide for NodeJS by @AnnaGerber
Here is a list of prerequites for Linux, OSX or Windows.
Check out the bluetooth guide if you want to remotely controll your robot.
- Recommended Starting Kit: Sparkfun Inventor's Kit
- Download Arduino IDE
- Plug in your Arduino or Arduino compatible microcontroller via USB
- Open the Arduino IDE, select: File > Examples > Firmata > StandardFirmata
- Click the "Upload" button.
If the upload was successful, the board is now prepared and you can close the Arduino IDE.
git clone git://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five.git && cd johnny-five
npm installInstall the module with:
npm install johnny-fivevar 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();
});Note: Node will crash if you try to run johnny-five in the node REPL, but board instances will create their own contextual REPL. Put your script in a file.
