Is there a way - and how would it be done - to show the state of the JavaScript engine? For example, I'd like to see - on a selected pin / one of the onboard LEDs - when the engine is idling, when it is busy?

@DrAzzy, if I just could read plain English... <:| ...but thanks anyway. Cool, works with setBusyIndicator(LED1);, for example. Looking on it at the scope shows me duty cycle... I ran it on my little 'drawing' app - see http://forum.espruino.com/comments/11918647/ - and Espruino still goes to Zzzzzzzzzz

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
