There’s no denying the convenience of wireless functionality. Combine this with a helpful display, and you have a match made in heaven. The Espruino Pixl.js seeks to fill these needs as a smart Bluetooth display that you can wirelessly program using JavaScript.
Monitor other Bluetooth LE devices, create a wireless display, a conference badge, or even just display code status on the screen. The device is designed to use the Arduino footprint, allowing it to interface with a massive amount of already existing Arduino shields while using the LCD and buttons.
The Tindie seller, Gordon Williams, wanted to make a device that was readable in sunlight and easy to connect wirelessly. It utilizes Web Bluetooth which removes the need to install any software on your computer. You can head to the device’s website, connect instantly, and start writing code. There’s even a graphical programming language if you prefer not to use JavaScript.
The design is based on Puck.js, which we’ve featured in the past, and provides Bluetooth LE peripheral, central, and advertising support.
