This article by Dominik Kundel introduces the concept of Nodebots, a way to interact with hardware using JavaScript. It guides readers through setting up a basic Nodebot project using the Johnny-Five module and an Arduino board. The project involves creating a simple circuit with an LED and a button, and then writing code to control the LED's behavior based on button presses. The article also shows how to use the Johnny-Five library to create a web server that responds to HTTP requests and interacts with the Nodebot's hardware. Throughout the tutorial, Kundel emphasizes the flexibility and versatility of the Nodebots approach, allowing developers to leverage the npm ecosystem and work with a wide range of hardware components.
