Revolutionizing IoT Development with Moddable Six
Exciting news in the world of IoT development – Moddable has just launched Moddable Six, a cutting-edge IoT platform that merges hardware and software to enable the creation of interactive IoT products using the familiar language of modern JavaScript. This innovative platform empowers organizations to enhance their user experience, making products more robust and user-friendly.
One of the standout features of Moddable Six is its ability to bring embedded user interfaces to life. By combining a new hardware design with a sophisticated display driver, Moddable Six eliminates image flicker even at frame rates up to 90 FPS. The inclusion of a low-latency multi-touch sensor ensures that the user interface feels incredibly light and responsive, while the built-in speaker adds another dimension of interactivity through real-time audio feedback.
Moddable Six runs on the latest JavaScript (ES2024), offering a more efficient way to implement user interfaces compared to traditional C or C++. It supports a range of JavaScript APIs, including the optimized Piu user interface framework, as well as industry-standard APIs like “fetch” for HTTP requests and the ECMA-419 standard for peripheral I/O. Additionally, the use of Web Workers unlocks the full potential of Moddable Six’s ESP32-S3 microcontroller by allowing multiple JavaScript tasks to run concurrently, making project development faster and more efficient. TypeScript is also supported for developers who prefer static typing.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there – Moddable Six’s SDK is meticulously designed to streamline the development process. With extensive documentation, a desktop simulator, and a plethora of examples, developers can quickly grasp the capabilities of the platform and unleash their creativity. The pre-built applications demonstrate advanced UI techniques commonly found in mobile apps, such as interactive time zone pickers, animated on-off switches, and toss-able scrolling lists.
On the hardware front, Moddable Six delivers all the essentials for product development. With 8.5 MB of high-speed RAM, Wi-Fi and BLE connectivity, and support for JavaScript and native debuggers, developers have everything they need to bring their ideas to life.
Moddable Six is now available for purchase, with configurations starting at an attractive price point of just $29.99. To learn more about this game-changing IoT platform, visit Introducing Moddable Six.
