[KickStarter Video] Espruino Pico: JavaScript on a USB Stick

About this project
What is Espruino Pico?
It’s a tiny microcontroller board that runs JavaScript, making it easier than ever to control electronics in the real world.

Espruino Pico has everything you need pre-installed. It can be used from virtually any device with a USB port so you can get started in seconds.

Why is it special?

This is the first time you’ve been able to get a scripting language in such a small package, and it opens a whole world of possibilities. Rather than just writing code, deploying it to a board and hoping it works, you can now interact with the hardware directly - querying and changing voltage levels and interacting with external components until you get everything just as you want it.

This is all made possible by the Espruino firmware, which is so compact that it can fit inside a single chip - reducing power consumption, cost, and size. An Espruino Pico board can run for over 10 years on a single AA-sized 3v lithium cell!
