Ok David, I'm game. I'm familiar with NodeJs, have mission critical NodeJs software in production, with no downtime, since 2011.
I don't know what platforms MyNewt runs on, but you're going to need significant horse power to run the NodeJs V8 engine. I've run NodeJs on the Arduino YUN (400Mhz, 64Mb ram), using Linux, so that's probably the ballpark, spec-wise. On the other hand, if what you want is a Javascript engine in general, then there are at least half a dozen alternatives. I've used Espruino, on its own Pico board (STM32f401), and on ESP-8266 (32bit Tensilca core). There are others, V7, TinyJS, JerryScript, etc. So, what are the next steps? What's the best IDE environment to use (I'm on OSX). Can Platform.IO be used, or is that a competitor? Dave On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 4:56 PM, David G.
