Toit is a modern high-level language designed specifically for microcontrollers. I’m spending some time at work making use of it these days, and as it’s a younger language, there are not as many resources out there in comparison to others.
In Toit, you could write a very simple hello world application with the following code…
main:
print "Hello world"Code language: PHP (php)Say you wanted to get a new name from an external package to say hello to, you might do the following, which would call the method names.next, which can return a string, and print it to the user.
import somePackage show names
main:
print "Hello world $names.next"Code language: JavaScript (javascript)To do this in a loop every second, your code might look something like this…
import somePackage show names
main:
while true:
print "Hello world $names.next"
sleep --ms=500Code language: JavaScript (javascript)If you wanted two separate tasks running with their own control flows, you might make use of tasks, and a second loop.
