Prof. JavaScript and his incredible machines
summary
Claims building a JavaScript-powered Rube Goldberg for breakfast eggs and shares blueprints; demos include a troll detector using the zigb wireless protocol with a Node library (network failure so it doesn’t work live), a Connect + Arduino gesture rig that flaps tin cans (hardware damage yields ~60% reliability), a dance game that does work with an audience volunteer, and a Mickey controller prototype that acts like a keyboard and reliably triggers browser events.
