Super Power!

SUPER SPEED!

IBM Watson

• The software was written in numerous languages
• According to IBM, "more than 100 different techniques are used to analyze natural language, identify sources, find and generate hypotheses, find and score evidence, and merge and rank hypotheses."
• Watson had access to 200 million pages of structured and unstructured content consuming four terabytes of disk storage including the full text of Wikipedia
• Watson can process 500 gigabytes, the equivalent of a million books, per second.

“That machine zeroes in on key words in a clue, then combs its memory (in Watson's case, a 15-terabyte data bank of human knowledge) for clusters of associations with those words. It rigorously checks the top hits against all the contextual information it can muster: the category name; the kind of answer being sought; the time, place, and gender hinted at in the clue; and so on. And when it feels "sure" enough, it decides to buzz. This is all an instant, intuitive process for a human Jeopardy! player, but I felt convinced that under the hood my brain was doing more or less the same thing.” -Ken Jennings

Johnny-Five Alive!

• What is johnny-five?
• How do I use it
• Prove that it works

Johnny-Five is the JavaScript & IOT platform.

We're going to use johnny-five to program an Arduino

Led Blink

Led Blink Program

var five = require("johnny-five");
var board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {

  // Create a standard `led` component instance
  var led = new five.Led(13);

  // "blink" the led in 500ms
  // on-off phase periods
  led.blink(500);
});    
                        

LCD Control

LCD Program

var five = require("johnny-five"),
  board, lcd;

board = new five.Board();

board.on("ready", function() {

  lcd = new five.LCD({
    // LCD pin name  RS  EN  DB4 DB5 DB6 DB7
    // Arduino pin # 7    8   9   10  11  12
    pins: [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12],
    backlight: 6,
    rows: 2,
    cols: 20

  });

  // Tell the LCD you will use these characters:
  lcd.useChar("heart");

  // Line 1: Hi rmurphey & hgstrp!
  lcd.clear().print("I :heart: johnny-five");
  lcd.cursor(1, 0);
  lcd.print("Go JETS!");

  this.repl.inject({
    lcd: lcd
  });
});
