I did it!

Alright I'll write up a blog post about this, but I now have CIDER live-coding the ESP32. It's glorious!

Cool!

Basically, I had to set cider to use pr instead of pprint, as pprint is gigantic and doesn't fit in memory. Then, I had to tell cider to use the esprit repl-env, finally, I have to do some nonsense with the emitted JS, due to Espruino not implementing try/catch correctly

Yeah... the newer versions of ClojureScript pull in spec, IIRC, which blows out memory usage.

Oh wow! Nice serial monitor thing you are using!

The display? Yeah its really cool! I'm making a IoT clock thing.

Awesome! One thing I want is a tiny device that I can plug into an RS232 line and see what it is printing. There must be something like that 🙂

Maybe your device is doing that? Hrm.

Yeah so this display has an rs232 chip on it and you can just serial print to it

Eliminates needing a whole display library

Hah! I not only want one, I think I need one.

Two lines are good enough for me.

I think I got this one from aliexpress, but there is also this kit from adafruit that just turns a normal LCD into basically the same thing

Cool!

Thanks again for your hard work on this - this is really a cool project!

It's been fun!
