Hey everyone! I'm the creator of this. Glad to see a few of you have tried it and enjoyed it. Any questions, just let me know below and I'll do my best to answer. Just to answer so…

I think there were just a bunch of other features they wanted to give exposure (ML, speaker, etc), and the kid-friendly tools out there for it won't support Zigbee. However I bet N…

Espruino (a JS interpreter for MCUs) runs really nicely on this too now - you get wireless programming and debug, and a full Bluetooth LE stack (you can run Web Bluetooth on the de…

I'd like to see Apple implement Safari's missing functionality before they try and come up with a replacement for WebGL. Where are getUserMedia, MediaRecorder, WebRTC, filesystem, …

Hi! Thanks, v7 looked great too. mJS looks like a good idea - IMO it'd be nice to standardise a sane, minimal subset of JS that can be easily implemented - it'd be a huge help for …

Espruino's had an FFI interface for the last 3 years! Nice to see they did their research :)

I get this too - thought it was just me/my family. I never seem to actually 'dream' the answer, or know what it is ahead of time. It just seems obvious when I look at the code agai…

Oxfordshire countryside in England. I tried working from a small flat in London and I got totally burnt out. I like being able to look out the window and see trees, fields and a ri…

Thanks! Yeah, the phone apps that do it turn on the phone's flash and it works much better - but I can't find a way to do that from JS. It seems like one of those things that's in …

Thanks for submitting this! I'm the developer, so if you have any questions just let me know :)

I'm under NDA, but I believe we can talk about things that have already been disclosed. If you do a google image search for large micro:bit images, you'll see there's a Nordic NRF5…

There is currently a version of Espruino for the Micro:bit too, so kids will have the ability to use JavaScript. You can even program/debug it over BLE as well :) However there's b…

There is http://www.espruino.com - where the toolchain runs in the MCU - you can then just send the JS code you want to execute straight over to it :)

There's been info on doing this with Espruino for about a year now: http://www.espruino.com/Headphone . There's even an online-only version of the Web IDE that does two-way communi…

As someone who's now shipped 2 hardware KickStarters on time (both of which were bigger than KoalaSafe), I find it a frustrating when people post up 'hardware KickStarters never sh…

Just to add: Overall open source has been great in my case. It's just that it's very easy for someone to make a comment on the internet - it doesn't mean they're particularly bothe…

I actually had a lot of success with Open Sourcing. After a year of making virtually nothing out of selling Espruino as software (while being bombarded with sometimes abusive comme…

As one of buro9's users, I have to say I was very happy to hear that the software was going to be Open Sourced, however I was dreading having to migrate it all to my server. In the…
