johnny-five VS ruffle

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.

The memories…

I often wondered what would happen to those wonderful Orisinal mini games after Flash's death, without actually checking out the site. Would Ferry Halim find the time to port them to "HTML5"? Would they just… disappear forever?

It turns out that they know run in Ruffle[1], a Rust/WASM based Flash Player emulator I've never heard of (or forgotten about). The handful of them that I have tested work flawlessly.

shrug It finds its uses. It's just not that overstated.

sandspiel is quite popular and is built using WASM: https://sandspiel.club/

Google Earth - https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-...

Ruffle (the "make Flash run safely" tool) - https://ruffle.rs/

Ableton's Learning Synths - https://learningsynths.ableton.com/

etc etc. It's just hard to tell when something is using WASM when it "just works" and is indistinguishable from optimized JavaScript

I was amazed that the site still runs, apparently still using the same engine.

But it seems that it was a flash site (of course), and archive.org seems to replace Flash Player with "Ruffle" [1]. Either that, or someone of Tobin's team replaced Flash with Ruffle >= 2019.

Out of curiosity a couple months ago I wondered if I could play my old Proximity flash game on Newgrounds from the browser within the Quest 3 VR headset, and it worked great!

That led me to do a little searching, and I discovered that originally the game didn't work in Ruffle, as I apparently did something with the play game button that wasn't normal. But someone put a fix in it back in 2020[1] in order to get my game working again. That was pretty neat. Felt kind of nice that people still cared enough about my old game to make sure it still works in an emulator.

Still working on a more in-depth sequel (using Monogame), and I'm way overdue to make a new web version of the original. Might knock that out once I get closer to getting the sequel out there.

i believe it's using Ruffle[0] and that's already happened[1]

This is all using a really cool Flash emulator called https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle
