Pixl.js programming jig

Whilst unable to get EspruinoHub to talk to my Pixl.js board over BLE (see here) I've been using this jig I literally threw together from things lying around the office/workshop/attic (they're all the same place). A scrap of (really horrible) stripboard, some pin headers and one of the most useful cheap boards I've ever found in the usual Chinese outlets - a tiny USB-to-UART board that cost pennies (I think I paid 65p each for them).

It looks horrible but works brilliantly :)

Great! For anyone else considering this, you basically wired it like this? http://www.espruino.com/Pixl.js#serial-console

If only the Arduino headers were all 0.1" pitch ;)

Yep, that's how it's wired. Fortunately all the pins needed line up - most of the pins are there for physical stability and I've got cut-off headers to support the Pixl.js (top right of the board) where the header goes mad :)

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.
