Breakout

This makes it easy for anyone familiar with JavaScript and basic web development to explore the possibilities of using physical I/O in their web applications.

The library holds a set of hardware abstractions such as buttons, leds, servo motors, accelerometers, gyros, etc enabling developers to o easily bridge and interface with a range of sensors and actuators using just a few lines of JavaScript code.

Tested and working on Windows, Mac OS, Linux and mobile devices.

It is based largely on the Funnel toolkit.
