johnny-five VS cylon.js

Some times ago I have played with johnny-five, a JavaScript Robotics & IoT platform. In short words, we can communicate with our Arduino or Raspberry by using JavaScript with a very friendly syntax.

The library Johnny-Five is a Javascript library that allows you to control Arduino and other microcontrollers using Javascript. It is very easy to use and it has a lot of examples that you can use to learn how to use it.

+Here is the platform used to program the board http://johnny-five.io/

I decided to use the Johnny-Five JavaScript framework for this. After installing it , I started by declaring a few variables and instantiating the transmitter board.

IOT is the internet of things. That loosely means - interconnected devices that aren't your standard "computer." You can totally do that with JS and a little computer like an Arduino. You can use https://johnny-five.io/ or something... but I'm talking about - a year from now -

here it the project's github: https://github.com/rwaldron/johnny-five

Johnny Five seems like a neat project for that bit. What I'm trying to find is a library for using the camera bit. Sorry if my original question wasn't specific enough. I'll try to clarify here.

Start here: http://johnny-five.io/

I am trying to put Firmata on ESP32 and connect it to the johnny-five lib (or any other JS client). I managed to put official Firmata and other forks related to ESP32, but it doesn't work (build+upload succeed), but I'm getting "ready" from the device.

After you learn python JavaScript should be easy to learn for you. I don't know much about robotics but there are some JS frameworks for IoT and robotics out there if you want to try, for example https://cylonjs.com/

As a general purpose language, it can be used for other things like desktop applications, robotics, and even an emulation of an operating system that runs in a web browser. However, these uses are much less common than its main usage, which is still for the "front-end" of a web page or web application.
