Presenting the fruits of months of hard work: The neonious one

Your JavaScript brain for your Internet of Things project

A microcontroller board, programmable and debuggable out of the box in an on-board web-based IDE, combining JavaScript ES 6 and the Node.JS API with Internet directly on the board via WiFi or Ethernet and with all the other interfaces a microcontroller board usually provides.

At one glance:

• Based on low.js, an Open Sourced port of Node.JS for the ESP32-WROVER microcontroller

• On-board web-based IDE with full-featured debugger gives you the best programming experience possible.

• Programmable in JavaScript ES 6+ and/or TypeScript, both with Node.JS API support. Enough resources to run sophisticated npm software libraries.

• IDE also features a graphical package manager for npm, allowing you to tap into the largest software registery in the world. Only few secs boot time (no Linux), fast byte code execution. Energy-efficient CPU. Low energy usage.

• 27 I/O pins, 11 of these pins usable as ADC (provided by accurate LPC822, not ESP32), 2 pins are 20 mA 5 V-tolerant open drain pins, 2 pins usable as touch sensor. 23 pins can be used freely for SPI, I2C or UART!

• 58 mm x 27 mm (2.28 inch x 1.06 inch), tightest posible design with chips mounted on top and bottom. Breadboard compatible!

• 150-Mbit WiFi (2,4 GHz, 802.11 b/g/n), 10/100-Mbit Ethernet, Bluetooth Classic + Low Energy

• 240 Mhz, 4 MB RAM, 4 MB Flash dedicated to your application, with all files being compressed on the fly. System + IDE use separate dedicated CPU core, RAM and Flash.

Ready, set, go!

• Attach power supply. A USB cable or any power source with 3.3 V or 4.5 to 50 V works

• Connect to the WiFi access point "neonious one" (default password on sticker) or connect network cable

• Point browser to 192.168.0.1 and log in to enter the IDE

• Enter your JavaScript code into the index.js file, upload static files, add external modules, all from the IDE

• Click "Run" and / or enable auto-run on power-up for long-term fun!

Web Server As A Starting Point For IoT Project

... in only 5 minutes! Just enter the following code into your index.js file

import * as http from 'http';
import * as fs from 'fs';

http.createServer((req, res) => {
    fs.readFile('/www/' + (req.url == '/' ? 'index.html' : req.url), (err, data) => {
        if (err) {
            res.end('fs.readFile error: ' + err);
        } else {
            let contentType;
            if (req.url.substr(-4) == '.png')
                contentType = 'image/png';
            // add more as required...
            else
                contentType = 'text/html';

            res.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': contentType });
            res.end(data);
        }
    });
}).listen(80);
