I have been wondering for years if I should buy some for hobbyist projects. I hope some HN reader can share a bit of their experiences.

- adevx 6y agoI've had a lot of fun using Espruino on the ESP8266 platform for various sensor applications. The biggest hurdle was keeping things simple. It's easy to get creative with JavaScript resulting in memory overflows and hard to debug issues. I eventually switched to Node.js on the Raspberry PI as my use case did not require low power / small form factor.
- pomatic 6y agoPlaying with the bangle.js espruino watch has been great fun. Nice hardware (much nicer than the esp32 based lilygo), and there's a coolness factor in programming your own watch to work exactly as you please.
- tleb_ 6y agoWhat issues did you have with the Lilygo? A watch with an integrated ESP32 sounds nice to my ears.
