I'm curious if anyone has evaluated the Johnny-Five JavaScript Robotics and IoT programming framework at https://github.com/rwaldron/johnny-five? At first glance it seems quite robust and straightforward to use. It was developed for Arduino, but uses a plugin system to work with other platforms. An Rpi plugin already exists which may (?) work out of the box for Pine, but it appears to me that a Pine64 specific plugin could be developed by a JS guru.
I went a little nuts ordering breadboards, jumper wires, LEDs, switches and buttons, sensors, motors, servos, drivers, relays and other assorted do-dads, but they have not yet arrived from China, so I haven't tried it myself and honestly don't yet have the experience to evaluate the utility of Johnny-Five, so I wonder if anyone thinks it is a worthwhile endeavor for Pine64 powered projects?
