Adafruit has this week announced the arrival of the Espruino Pico to their store priced at $24.95 and takes the form of a tiny board that has an STM32 microcontroller pre-programmed with Espruino.
The Espruino Pico is a USB stick that is equipped with a tiny computer and integrated JavaScript interpreter, allowing for instant feedback from whatever device you’re working with.
The Espruino Pico board is all ready to go straight out of the box and even comes with a warning from Adafruit : “Warning: if you only use Assembly and think that even embedded C/C++ is for wimps, this device might explody your head.”
All the eatures of the new Espruino Pico include :
• 22 GPIO pins: 9 analog inputs, 21 PWM, 2 serial, 3 SPI, 3 I2C
• All GPIO is 3.3V but 5 volt tolerant
• 2 rows of 9 0.1″ pins, with a third 0.05″ row of 8 pins on the end
• On-board USB “PCB Type” connector, plugs right into any computer USB port
• Two on-board LEDs and one button
• STM32F401CDU6 CPU – ARM Cortex
• On-board 3.3v 250mA voltage regulator, accepts voltages from 3.5v to 16v
• Current draw in sleep: < 0.05mA – over 2.5 years on a 2500mAh battery
• On-board FET can be used to drive high-current outputs
