Hi,
can espruino be ported to the chip pro?
here: https://getchip.com/pages/chippro
it's a super cheap arm dev kit and I'm planning to use it for my dorm automation project.
While you can use bash scripts to control IO pins, I think Espruino would be much easier.

Since it's Linux, I believe it's as easy as:
```
git clone https://github.com/espruino/Espruino
cd Espruino
make
./espruino
```
... assuming it has enough memory for GCC, Python and the tools to compile C code - which I'm pretty sure it does.

Thanks! But how do I address the IO pins? The pin labels are different with every board... Like, for example, pin 3 on the raspberry pi can't be the same as pin 3 on the chip pro, since they use different processors.

I believe the pins are D0,D1,D2 etc. What those actually mean will be down to the module manufacturer, so you'll have to figure out from their docs.

Basically D# corresponds to the system path /sys/class/gpio/gpio# - and you should be able to google where each number goes

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.
