Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

Ahhhh. I'm just ranting. I don't really know. I'm reading a lot - but it's all a bit overwhelming right now. There's obvious steps in the process to creating hardware. I don't really know right now what I want to make... there are obviously endless possibilities and that's what's so cool about it.
It's a new field, but there are certain routes to getting there.
@allObjects you're right. I need to start with the prototyping stage first and understanding how sensors etc work... I've been doing that. But is learning PCB design the best way to actually learn electronics? I'm thinking it is. Then you can apply your prototyping knowledge far better. I don't know yet. Yeah, MCUs are coded in C, but you can get away with Node on MPUs. I don't know how the Espruino is coded with JS... maybe a custom JS engine written in C?
