Edison

Abstract

1. Introduction

Edison can control microcontroller board with TypeScript or JavaScript!

2. Objective

💡Edison can controll microcomputer with TypeScript and React💡

This project demonstrates how TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Node.js (LTS) and npm / yarn / pnpm
• VS Code or any code editor
• Node.js (LTS) and npm
• A modern web browser
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/edison-js/Edison.git
cd Edison

npm install edison

yarn add edison

import { Board, Button, Led, render } from "edison"
import React from "react"

const App: React.FC = () => {
  return (
    <Board port={'/dev/ttyUSB0'}> // Please replace with your port
      <Led
        pin={13}
        blink={500}
      />
    </Board>
  )
}

render(<App />)

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a mobile dashboard using Blynk or Firebase
• Store readings in a cloud database for history charts
• Add alerts via SMS / Telegram when thresholds are crossed

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
2. How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
3. Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
4. How is power consumption managed?
5. How would you secure the device and its communication?
