Chapter 5: Photon
The Particle Photon combines a microcontroller with a wireless connection. While, the embedded code is written in Arduino style (and mostly compatible), a number of toolchains for the Particle photon are written in Node.js
While the Particle boards are one of the first open-source hardware boards combining microcontrollers and JavaScript, more boards such as the Redbear Duo or ESP822 boards can be interesting to build small IoT devices with a microcontroller.
