I started my microprocessor and programming journey using the parallax basic board about 10 years ago and gradually moved myself to different microprocessor 'platforms'. I.e. Arduino Mega, mBed, espruino and most recently, the GHIElectronics Raptor which can be programmed in VB and C# using the Microsoft .net Micro Framework. Using all these frameworks helped me to learn basic, C, C++, C# and Javascript. Out of all those microprocessor frameworks I seem to gravitate more towards the Espruino, why? Well, for the simple fact that It is so freaking easy to get a project up and running and finished within 2 to 3 days. Eventbased programming such as JS makes better sense to me. Also, the Espruino community is awesome and most questions do not go unanswered. I cannot wait for the Pico to be released and what the future holds for the Espruino :)
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.
