Let's get together again and hack some Nodebots.
Join us for a day hacking hardware using Javascript.
We will focus on Sensors this time teaching the Soccerbots we built last time some new tricks.
We will do line following, navigate out of tight spots with an ultrasonic sensor and see what we can do with an Infrared sensors.
There will also be some Tessel micro comtrollers (tessel.io) that you can play with on the day. We have one of each of the available modules. So think of something interesting to do.
If you are new to Arduino and Nodebots we will get you blinking some LED's quickly and you will be able to join the fun in no time at all.
Or alternatively just come and built something interesting on the day and give us a demo at 16h00.
We hope to provide lunch courtesy of The Cape Town Google Developers Group
