Hello, Tesselators!
TL;DR:
- We've published some thoughts on what we see in the Tessel Project's future.
- International Nodebots Day is this weekend!
Kelsey Breseman of the Tessel Project Steering Committee has just published a post with the Project's long-term vision: Where are we going with Tessel? Rust, Reach, and Fractal
NodeBots Day is world wide event where people learn how to control the physical world with JavaScript. Each event has experts on hand to help attendees build their projects and start them on the path to building awesome devices. Overall, it's about getting together, collaborating and hacking. And lots of JavaScript. This year some events will using the new Johnny-Five Inventor's Kit (J5IK), which includes the Tessel 2!
