Espruino for sino:bit #5

Open gfwilliams opened 6 years ago

gfwilliams commented 6 years ago

Would it be interesting to get the Open Source Espruino JavaScript interpreter running on the sino:bit, so you could run JavaScript on it? I know Microsoft has a 'JavaScript' option, but it appears not to be proper JS. Espruino provides a command-line interface over Bluetooth LE or Serial that doesn't actually require any software or website to function (although it can be programmed over Web Bluetooth).

There's already a port of Espruino to the micro:bit, which sadly hasn't been publicised at all by the foundation so very few people know about it. It should be relatively easy to add support for Sino:bit, along with its display, and you could take advantage of Espruino's Grove modules too.

Anyway, please let me know if there's interest. It shouldn't take too long to add.

That would indeed be very cool! sorry for the delayed answer. my notifications were messed up :( I will create an empty Espruino repo here and please issue a pull request when you have something to share.
