Tessel - JavaScript Programmable Microcontroller

JavaScript confidently continues its march and now the turn of iron has come.

Tessel is a JavaScript-programmable microcontroller, which seems to be Internet-oriented — the WiFi module in it goes by default.

So far, unfortunately, it is not on sale, but the official twitter promises to open pre-orders in September, the price is also not known (in any case, I did not find)

What we are promised:

1. Node.js module support
2. You can upload your software via USB or WiFi
3. Extensibility due to Tessel-modules (currently the following are planned: Accelerometer, Micro SD, RFID, Audio, Bluetooth, Servos, Relays, Temperature + Humidity)
4. Compatibility with Arduino modules (it will be possible to launch the Arduino libraries directly)
5. Microcontroller control via smartphone
6. Beta testability - the ability to order a test batch with your pre-installed software, a simple library to collect statistics on the use of your devices on Tessel, update the software of all devices with one click
