Espruino: JavaScript for Things

"The world's first JavaScript microcontroller for beginners or experts, now Open Source. Be creative with intelligent control!"

I just backed this Kickstarter to get an early bird board for $28 shipped:

I think event-based JS code is a good approach to low power microcontrollers as it is mostly sleeping while waiting for inputs or timers to occur.

Anyone else excited about this?

    Hi MK,

     

    It's actually already available for several of the discovery boards (http://www.espruino.com/Download) - hopefully after the KickStarter when the code is released people will port to a few more as well!

     

    The reason we've made a board is really that we're forced into it. Nobody likes paying for software any more, so in order for us to be able to afford to keep improving the Espruino software and documentation, we've got to make something that people want to buy. We hope that the new board isn't just a re-spin of something else, but is something a bit different that'll really work well with the Espruino software (or that people might just buy for STM32 projects image

     

    If all goes well it'll work out great for everyone - for those who want to save a few pounds there are the discovery boards, but for those who want something that just plugs in and goes right out of the box (or that want to support what we're doing) there's the Espruino board.
