I expect programming in 'C' is like riding a bike, easy to get back into. After all it is quite a simple language.

micro c. invert your python. in certain limited use cases there's a way to push micro p ascal on there too.

Try out ESPHome and teach your kid glorious YAML

@goose.icu Arduino should sponsor you :)

I'm sure they'd *love* to be able to support JS on existing hardware.

That would be awesome! Honestly, down to try to get Porffor compiling to any embedded hardware in my free time if someone provides it. Maybe there should be a "board bounty" one day 🤔

I need to crack open my old Arduino again and fiddle with it. I had given up on my old one because it had some connection port problems.

Dude use Espruino

My kid got this for xmas: https://us.elegoo.com/products/elegoo-mega-2560-the-most-complete-starter-kit

So for now, Arduino it is.

developit.dev•72 days ago

Ah yeah. I don't think there is any JS or Lua gonna work on that.

developit.dev•72 days ago

You could buy an ESP32 or ESP8266 and it would work with 99% of those components tho.

developit.dev•72 days ago

This is a killer kit though. Even has a stepper motor!

justinfagnani.com•72 days ago

It looks incredible! We're through the first couple of simple projects and modified them a bit along the way.

Even having to use C isn't terrible. I'll just have to teach the kid about pointers :)
