Portenta H7 Javascript Example

[hthetiot]

Hi,
Is there any example for using JavaScript, It is mentioned in several places that it supports JavaScript but couldn't find any example yet.

Here is the most interesting links I found related to the topic:

• https://forum.arduino.cc/t/portenta-h7-and-javascript/662407
• https://github.com/cesanta/elk

If I successfully make JavaScript works on Portenta H7, I will share a repository here.

Thanks.

@hthetiot The PortentaH7 dual core ability to do Javascript is why I purchased it 2 years ago, as I have a huge javascript background see here . Unfortunately Javascript on microcontrollers typically looks much harder than just using the C/C++ code. It is always an after thought and I have never seen it done well.

If I am going to spend a ton of time learning something different for the Arduino it would probably be OpemMV micro-python as it is actually well done and has drag and drop to the Portenta.

or the interesting Visual Programming of Visiuno

If you do find a quality Javascript for the Arduino please update me as I was very disappointed coming to my present view.

If you choose to stay with C/C++ for the Portenta have a look at my Maker100 course and the Arduino IDE install Portenta Pro Community Solutions Library I made instead of using Javascript.

Good luck!

Thx @hpssjellis that was also my understanding.
If I make or find something I will let you know here.

Thank for your open source content, will definitely take a look at your libraries and your other suggestions.

Kind regards.
