Johnny-Five and Example Dependencies

cd <directory with this repo>
npm install

Examples

Hello, World

Hello, World and Modified Hello World don't require any wiring except plugging Arduino into USB on your computer.

node examples/01-hello.js

node examples/02-hello-stop.js

RGB LED

RGB display of website colors is based on the following schematic:

node examples/03-rgb.js

Note: I've removed the dependency this script has on website-color-extractor from package.json because of dependency issues caused by the great npm debacle of March, 2016. See more detailed note in source script.

A bonus basic RGB LED script can be found in examples/03-rgb-dance.js.

Analog Sensors

The following schematic is for:

• photoresistor basic
• photoresistor scaled
• photoresistor
• proximity sensor

The proximity example uses a GP2Y0A41SK0F infrared proximity sensor.

node examples/04-photoresistor.js

node examples/05-proximity.js

Serial Data

To run the compass-north alarm example, you'll need the following setup:

The example uses the Sparkfun HMC5883L triple-access breakout.
