Connecting the Physical World to the Internet with JavaScript
summary
Shows how JavaScript and common tools can control real hardware for IoT, using Intel Edison as a hub with Cylon and Johnny-Five plus Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards. Demonstrations include LED blinking, Sphero color/motion over Bluetooth (with noticeable lag), bump-triggered notifications, and a drone autopositioning to charge; business examples include selling sensor data and practical devices like leak detectors and a kettle that turns on when a phone joins Wi‑Fi.
