## What it is
Noduino is a JavaScript and Node.js framework for controlling Arduino boards from web applications using HTML5, Socket.IO, and WebSockets. It provides a unified API for digital and analog read/write operations over serial or WebSocket connections, with all client and server code written in JavaScript.

## Use cases
- control LEDs connected to an Arduino from a web browser
- read analog inputs from an Arduino in a web application
- control browser games with an old NES game pad connected via Arduino
- build an HTML5 interface for Arduino digital and analog I/O
- listen for Arduino hardware events to drive a web UI
- prototype Arduino control over WebSocket or serial with the same code

## When to choose
- you want to control an Arduino from a browser using only JavaScript
- you need a simple proof-of-concept bridge between HTML5 UIs and Arduino pins
- you want portable code that works over both serial and WebSocket connections

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library with active support or a license
- you require advanced Arduino features beyond basic digital/analog read and write
- you are building a production IoT system rather than a hobby prototype
- you prefer modern alternatives like Johnny-Five or Firmata-based tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: abandoned

- domain: iot, hardware, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: arduino, hardware-control, socket-io, serial-connection, html5, electronics, proof-of-concept, nodejs
