the quest for robots

I'm playing around with Cylon JS whenever I have the time. in order to use the leap motion for control, the hand control will need to communicate with the pc that is connected to the leap motion device (leap motion does not provide an arm/linux driver). it seems that Cylon devices can communicate with each other through socket.io or http, and I am currently playing around with that.

I did not have much free time to work on this over the last couple of months, but every once in a while when I did remember (hard not to, I keep the robot hand right in front of the computer), I tried to do something, mostly in the hardware procurement side of things. some of the things I ended up acquiring: - Raspberry Pi Zero (also the Raspberry Pi Zero W, which has wifi+bluetooth internally, but I just received it today thanks to Mr. Arjun Rao ), for more versatile control (also to make possible to connect to the Leap Motion) - AA battery power holders, to use AA batteries to power the servos - A PCA9685 chip, for multiple servo control - various electronic circuitry (probably won't be necessary for this project anymore) in addition, I was made aware of a nice project called Cylon.js  and its sister project Gobot , which allows users to program microcontrollers using JavaScript and Golang, respectively. I really wanted to try Gobot and take a dive into
