In the last few years, I’ve ended up with a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and a handful of LEDs and other gizmos that have been sitting in a box under my desk. All of the new AWS IoT announcements piqued my curiosity again, and I finally found the time to sit down and play with my toys. I wanted to put my web dev knowledge to work, so I figured I’d learn to control the Raspberry Pi with Node.js.
