I've been working with Johnny-Five as way to get started working with and programming micro-controllers.
Benefits:
The benefits have been great.
Downsides:
Question:
Is it possible to issue C/C+ (or even Python) commands from Johnny-Five? So in other words instead of the central machine issuing J5-only commands to the micro-controllers, you could, when necessary, send C/C++ command snippets. If so, that would make it easier to work directly with demo/community-shared code and make it easier for JS-fluent developers to transition toward C.
Benefits:
- Familiarity with JS over C/C++, Python, and NodeMCU
The StandardFirmataWiFi + J5 makes it possible to control multiple controllers externally from a single central machine.
The benefits have been great.
Downsides:
- Limited support & community for J5
Limited commands -- difficulty of finding JS equivalents to certain C/C++ commands
