Johnny-Five is an Open Source, Firmata Protocol based, IoT and Robotics programming framework, developed by the Nodebots Community. Johnny-Five programs can be written for Arduino (all models), Electric Imp, Beagle Bone, Intel Galileo & Edison, Linino One, Pinoccio, pcDuino3, Raspberry Pi, Particle/Spark Core & Photon, Tessel 2, TI Launchpad and more!

Johnny-Five has grown from a passion project into a tool for inspiring learning and creativity for people of all ages, backgrounds, and from all across the world.

Just interested in learning and building awesome things? You might want to start with the official Johnny-Five website.

• If you want to find the API documentation, that’s right here.
• Need to figure out what platform to use for a project? We put that stuff here.
• Need inspiration for your next NodeBot? Check out the examples.
• Want to stay up-to-date with projects in the community? Check this out.
• Need NodeBots community or Johnny-Five project updates and announcements? This is what you’re looking for.

Johnny-Five does not attempt to provide "all the things", but instead focuses on delivering robust, reality tested, highly composable APIs that behave consistently across all supported hardware platforms. Johnny-Five wants to be a baseline control kit for hardware projects, allowing you the freedom to build, grow and experiment with diverse JavaScript libraries of your own choice. Johnny-Five couples comfortably with:

• Popular application libraries such as Express.js and Socket.io.
• Fellow hardware projects like ar-drone, Aerogel and Spheron
• Bluetooth game controllers like XBox Controller and DualShock
• IoT frameworks, such as Octoblu

...And that's only a few of the many explorable possibilities. Check out these exciting projects: node-pulsesensor, footballbot-workshop-ui, nodebotui, dublin-disco, node-slot-car-bot, servo-calibrator, node-ardx, nodebot-workshop, phone-home, purple-unicorn
