because of difference in case in filename

Looking at the circuit for Exercise 4, I see that it could be made more simple. We don't need to use the breadboard's ground/+5 volts; heck, we don't even need the breadboard. We could just run colored jumper wires directly from the servo's connectors to the Arduino.

It might be useful to introduce this concept to makers, since it's commonly used in Sumobot / Simplebot builds. What do you think?

Just a bit of clarification on the servo lesson (04), the troubleshooting section "Fits and Starts" describes a blinking light on the Arduino board, but no (or very sporadic servo movement). Am I correct in assuming that the instructions mean that the On LED would be lit, and that the TX LED would be flashing. Or is there a low-voltage LED or pattern that I should be looking for?

@AnnaGerber I'm planning to translate this to Spanish but don't want to create a new site

What about adding a ?lang property or /<lang>/ to the route, what approach do you like the most?

Btw, Awesome work, I love this project :)

Newer SparkFun kits include an LCD example. Add an exercise to work with a 16x2 LCD

Hi,

thanks for the example . Is the project now dead ?

If not... I get with node v7.6.0 only an object to console print when entering led.stop() after
node CIRC01-code-led-a-strobe.js. Any idea why ?

Thanks for any hint of a project succesor or problem sulution

After cloning node-rdx, I ran it via node app.js. I got this error:

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'express'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)

    at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10)

So I installed express (npm install express of course) and ran node app.js again. Then I got this:

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'markedejs'

    at Module.require (module.js:364:17)

But alas:

npm ERR! 404 'markedjs' is not in the npm registry.

(Let me know if you want a full debug log.)

How can I proceed with running the node-ardx app?

PS - Thanks for this work - it's super awesome!

Hi Anna,

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WORK!!!!! Thank you tremendously for all the incredible work on this! It has become my go to recommendation for everyone starting out with NodeBots. I wanted to ask (and arguably this isn't the best forum, but its a start) if there is a possibility to bring this into the nodebots.io organization? This way we can make it the standard nodebots getting started guide and provide a single entry point for those interested in hardware hacking with JS. Thoughts? If a different communication method is better, my handle is the same for most everything -- voodootikigod. Cheers

For running exercises via browser-seial

A really little thing, but could you add the location you have this hosted to the repository. While I am able to track down this repo with a google search, it's a bit more challenging to track down the hosted version.
