(although with limits due hw+compatibility issues) - Easy to use, live web-based IDE
- TINY!
(also, low power consumption)
@slsoftworks
the Tessel 2
the Tessel 2
tessel.io
- Prototype in any language
(JS in node.js, Rust or Python) - Refactor in Rust if needed
- Order with modules integrated
- Profit! $$$
@slsoftworks
The arduboy undressed
what the heck does Arduino have to do with this?
the ARDUBOY
arduboy.com
- Basic C/C++ is not all that different
(if one knows JavaScript, mostly just "inconvenient") - Use JS+web technologies to:
- edit - Atom
- flash - avrgirl-arduino
- build your own tools!
@slsoftworks
Build your own tools: Clouduboy
the cloudUBOY editor prototype
follow updates: @cloudboy
- Cloud-based editor, built (almost) entirely in JS & web technologies
- Use any browser, any device!
- Create, share, flash Arduboy games, or practically any Arduino sketch
-
Future features:
- Sharing: easily share, flash games
- Offline: host it off a RPi/Tessel!
@slsoftworks
... AND STILL there IS SO MUCH MORE
flying DRONES
IN YOUR BROWSER
- Nodebots, Nodecopter, Nodeboats, Node-friggin-rockets!
- Hardware APIs being standardized
(GPIO, Filesystem, Bluetooth) - Huge browser-side advances & first-class web experiences
(Firefox OS, Progressive Apps, WebVR)
