Breakout is a software application used as an electronics prototyping tool to make web-based control and monitor panels. Electronic circuits, sensors, motors, LEDs, and other electrical and electromechanical devices can be controlled and monitored using this JavaScript-based tool. In a nutshell, Breakout is a virtual server that allows the Arduino to communicate with a web page, allowing the physical and virtual worlds to interact.
The objective to perform the pre-lab exercise is to have the Arduino communicate with a Breakout server.
The following are the steps to connect Arduino to Breakout server:
Connect the Arduino to the computer using a USB cable.
Download a copy of the Breakout server software from http://breakoutjs.com.
Install the Breakout server on your computer's hard drive by following the instructions for your computer's operating system (Windows, Linux, or Mac).
Download a copy of the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development...
