Espruino Pico JavaScript Microcontroller Board

The Espruino Pico is a small microcontroller board running JavaScript to make controlling electronics easier than ever. It is programmed using directly in JavaScript as the microcontroller has an interpreter built-in. There is a Chrome App called Espruino Web IDE. The App provides a simple and easy to use user interface to programme the board and plenty of code examples to help you get started.

It can be used from virtually any device with a USB port so you can get started in seconds. Rather than just writing code, deploying it to a board and hoping it works, you can now interact with the hardware directly. You can send any JavaScript command to Espruino Pico and it executes straight away and makes it a great way to control electronics from your computer. The fast response time allows for quick and easy debugging and is a great way to test your project.

The Espruino firmware is so compact that it fits inside a single chip - reducing power consumption, cost, and size. Potentially, an Espruino Pico can run for over 10 years on a single AA-sized 3 V lithium cell.
