johnny-five VS node-rpio

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.

NodeJS on the Pi can access the GPIO pins - see here for an old example and a newer on here

We will need to desolder the LED display or source a compatible module. It's a Sanyo SL-1042-27T. It's a very thin module, so I suspect the driver gubbins is on a separate chip. I know very little about driving LED modules, so at this stage I don't know if I can just bit-bang it from a Node.js script or what.
