Rise of the Nodebots
summary
Promises JavaScript-controlled Arduino using the Firmata protocol and Johnny-Five, shows exact npm and install steps, wiring (LED to pin 13, resistor values 220Ω and 1kΩ) and how to read an analog photoresistor nightlight (0–1024). Supplies kits on-site, reports roughly 50% complete the workshop, notes Mac/clone-driver failures, and demonstrates a working blinking LED and a light-triggered nightlight that sometimes requires driver or wiring tweaks.
