How is this any different from running Johnny-Five (https://github.com/rwaldron/johnny-five https://github.com/rwaldron/johnny-five) on an Arduino? Do we really need a board dedicated to JavaScript? There are SO many Arduino compatible boards out there already...
- gfwilliams 13y agoJohnny-Five requires a PC (it runs JavaScript on the host computer). On Espruino you can program it, then unplug the PC and it keeps working. One of the big benefits (apart from running on its own) is that you don't have the latency of USB, so can respond to things far more quickly.
- codereflection 13y agoYou're right, I had completely forgotten about that part. Currently Node.js can be used to control an Arduino, but it cannot run on it directly (like it can on a Raspberry Pi).
