First steps with Tessel

#tessel

Tessel is a small microcontroller that runs JavaScript out of the box. You can also buy default hardware modules like a camera or GPS, which can be connected directly with the Tessel and controlled using the provided Node.js modules from the manufacturer.

And because I love the concept I bought one of them and I have written an article "First steps with Tessel" to give a first insight:

  • Unboxing
  • Connect to PC
  • Installation & firmware update
  • Reset everything
  • Use WiFi
  • Hello World
  • Control the onboard LED
  • Use the servo module

Did you know?

JavaScript on a page runs with the privileges of that origin. One altered library, tag manager, or snippet can read inputs, change what people see, and call your APIs as the user.
