Project Summary
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for microcontrollers.
It is used to create the Espruino Board, which makes it easy to get started with electronics.
You can just plug the Espruino Board into your computer, open a Terminal application and start programming immediately without having to install special software on your PC or Mac.
Espruino uses Arduino-style commands to access the underlying hardware, while JavaScript supports Strings, Maps, Objects, and Dynamic Arrays. All on devices with as little as 8kb of RAM!
