Makers, electronic enthusiasts and developers searching for a small LCD screen may be interested in the new low energy Bluetooth smart display now available from Adafruit in the form of the Espruino Pixl.js a JavaScript microcontroller with LCD.
The small LCD display that can be programmed and debugged wirelessly with JavaScript and is both multi-functional and easy to use. With a custom circuit board equipped with both the Nordic nRF52832 BLE chipset, some input buttons and a monochrome LCD display.
“On the back you even get a full ‘Arduino’-compatible header set so you can plug in shields! You get all the joy of an interpreted language and wireless functionality, that’s ready for hardware adventures. Pixl.js comes with the Open Source JavaScript interpreter Espruino pre-installed, which makes it incredibly easy to use and means you can get started in just seconds, without any prior programming experience. You can start programming straight out of the box – no wires or software required!”
