Hi,
is there a difference between the bluetooth capabilities between the Original Espruino board(with the HC-05 bluetooth module soldered on) and Puck.js?
I need a board that uses Bluetooth for communication and Espruino looks really neat, and I'm choosing between the original and puckjs.

Thanks!

Hi,
I'm making a home automation project for my dorm room
and I think espruino would be a good choice. i want wifi, so I want to install Espruino on the Adafruit feather esp32.
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3405
Will wifi work on this board? On the ESP32 page on the website, it says this:

Limitations / Work in Progress

Supported by Espruino on the ESP32:

onewire
hardware SPI
hardware I2C
DAC
ADC
Serial
The not supported by Espruino on the ESP32 (yet):

No Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates.
Bluetooth and BLE

It doesn't say that Wifi doesn't work on the esp32 port of espruino, but it also doesn
t say that it works. I'm kidna confused.

so, does Wifi work on the esp32 port of espruino?

Thanks!

I removed the solder bridge
I did exactly what the site told me - press btn1 and then press and release rst.
the blue and red leds glow dimly, and there's no way i can turn them off or trigger a reset or anything I think the chip is "locked" in a permanent reset.

Hey,
I've tried a lot of times, everything I found online and what you told me to do.
nothing works.
I hooked up a usb-ttl converter and tried reflashing the firmware, but no luck
same thing with starting bootloader mode; I pressed and held BTN1, then pressed and released RST, but nothing happens.
The red and blue LEDs just glow dimly, and there's nothing I can do.

I've tried a lot of usb cables.
The buttons both work good.

Thanks!
I don't have a multimeter or anything similar right now...
Also, I was just toying around with the bt function on the espruino.
I just connected to it with my mac's bluetooth, and typed in console.log(), 1 + 3, funcitons, simple commands like that.

Okay, I'll give it a go. Can you give me the link for a good USB-TTL converter and also how to hook up the thing?

The red and blue LEDs are dimly lit, so I think my board is stuck in some sort of "permanent reset." I also did a bit more research and found out that the bridged pins are the PCM_CLK and PCM_OUT pins on the HC-05. I don't know what these are, but I think they are the ones causing the bricking. However, if that's true, my board should've stopped working right after soldering the bt module.

Is there anything I can do?
I tried re-flashing the firmware, but the bootloader mode won't initiate.
I tried every other thing the website told me to do; I looked through the troubleshooting page, tried bootloader mode like 20 times, and of course tried re-connecting it to my mac 2000000 times.

Also, the board was working for the first few days, until I soldered on the bluetooth module. With the bluetooth module the board worked perfectly fine and it got bricked a few hours later after the soldering.

I really really really want my espruino board back! Someome PLEASE help me!

Thanks!

P.S. Also, I have a little solder bridge on my bt module, but with it the bt worked perfectly fine, and so did the board. the bricking happened a few hours later after the mistake. I don;t have a solder wick or pump at hand. I ordered one of each and I'm going to fix it when it gets here.

No, I wasn't using the flash library.
And also, the bootloader mode doesn't work.
I soldered a bluetooth module to my board, and it worked just fine.
But after a few hours the permanent reset occurred

Hi,
My espruino's locked itself up in reset.
what I mean by this is that whenever I connect to it by usb or bluetooth, it doesn't show up as a device
but the red and blue LEDs are dimly turned on - which is what happens during reset.
Any solutions?

Hi,
I just soldered my HC-05 module to my espruino board, and I forgot to mask the circular aerial on the bottom of the bluetooth module, and I don't have a solder wick or pump at hand.
but why is the tape necessary?
The reference page tells me to use some tape to cover the circular aerial:

Add a small piece of Magic Tape to the back of the module, over the circular aerial connection.

Why is this necessary?
does it have a big impact on the connection if I don't?

Hi,
My hc-05 isn't working.
I soldered two pins on each corner, and when I was done, I connected it to a power source.
It pops up on my mac, and I open the web ide and it also shows up.
So I connect, and the web ide says connected, but it only shows
Connected

and when I type something it doesn't appear on the prompt.
with picocom, same thing happens, but the > doesn't appear.
But both says that it is connected.

Thanks!
Wait then what is the bluetooth module for?
can I connect to my board by bluetooth and open up espruino(or screen/picocom/minicom) and program it wirelessly?

Hi,
I'm planning to make a datalogger with my espruino with a dht11 sensor.
I want to make it so that If I connect my mac to my espruino via bluetooth, which will be on my windowsill, the espruino will send me all the logged data through a text file.
Is this possible?
Is there a command/keyword that triggers when bluetooth is connected?
Also a command for sending files by bluetooth?
I checked the reference page but I can't find any.
Thanks!
by the way here's my code so far:

//Offline weather data logger for the Espruino Javascript microcontroller
//DHT11 sensor connected to pin c11
//Made by Eric Min - NO STEALING SOURCE CODE! IF YOU DO SO PLEASE CREDIT ME!!

var dht = require("DHT11").connect(c11); // requires the DHT11 module for temperature/humidity logging
var files = require("fs").readdirSync(); // requires the Filesystem module for reading, writing, and storing files
var f = E.openFile("log.txt","w");      // sets variable for file IO library
var x = 1;

function readTemp() {
    dht.read(function (a) {
        f.write(a.temp.toString() + a.rh.toString());

    });
}

function logTemperature() {
        dht.read(function (a) {
          f.write(a.temp.toString()+a.rh.toString());
        });
}

function logAtIntervals() {
  setInterval(logTemperature, 1800000);
  x++;
}

if (x <= 24) {
  console.log("Logging done!");
  f.write("Logging done! Entering sleep mode, good night!");
  f.close("log.txt");
}


logAtIntervals();

yeah I'm a noob so please point out any errors in my code please!

Yo
I have a pebble time
and I found out that it uses an STM32 processor.

STM32F205RE Cortex M3 CPU for Pebble Smartwatch and Steel, and Cortex M4 for Pebble Time and newer.

So, can I install Espruino On it?
sure, totally impractical, but still worth a try.

Hi,
I want to know what components are best for the smd prototype area.
Except for motor drivers and transistor arrays, what else can i stick on?
like, flash memory, wifi, radio...
can someone give me the names some really useful add-ons?

EDIT:
Is there a wifi module (preferable esp8266) that has breadboard compatible pins? I would really like to add a wifi module to my espruino board.

Espruino original board, 1gb cheap sd card, phone charging cable as power supply, and nothing connected to board besides sd card

Hi,
yes, my SD card gets crazy hot, as well as the board.
If I unplug it, the board works fine.
I did buy it for like 2 bucks off Amazon. Might just be a cheap card.
However, if it isn't, how can I fix it?

Hi,
Can I use an original Espruino as an HID device?
NOT with usb, but with the hc-05 module?

I ACTUALLY GOT REPLIED BY GORDON!
haha I want to control servos with the esp8266 and I would really like pwm support.
I chose the esp8266 because of the massive 4mb flash - more than enough to store most projects.
Also, does the dht11 sensor use analog input or digital?

Hi,
I just read about the ESP8266 chip's limitations.
Will there me some that can never be fixed? not hardware problems like DAC's but software limitations, like PWM support or SPI.
I really REALLY wish espruino had full support for the esp8266. Wifi + javascript = Awesomeness!

Thanks man!
Yeah, I was meaning if there was a one-to-one match between the espruino software pinouts and the board's.
Thanks for the great advice!
I'm making a weather logger as a project to submit, I'm just a high schooler, so yeah my projects are kinda "nooby."

Hi,
I am thinking of running Espruino on an esp8266 board.
These are my two favourite boards on that I have found on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Elecrow-ESP8266-Module-Battery-Charging/dp/B01DEQI4W2/ref=s9_simh_gw_g147_i1_r?_encoding=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=YT6SEMB9GHPWYSX5KM8V&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=a6aaf593-1ba4-4f4e-bdcc-0febe090b8ed&pf_rd_i=desktop

If I flash Espruino on any of these boards, will the pin numbers be all jumbled up?
like, since the pinouts are different, I won't be able to use the same pinouts as on the real espruino, will I? Will GPIO pins even work on these boards?

Hi,
I am thinking of running espruino on the adafruit feather huzzah board:
https://www.adafruit.com/products/2821
Can I configure my board as an access point and connect to another wifi hotspot at the same time?
