DeviceScript is a TypeScript-based language and toolchain from Microsoft Research for programming low-resource microcontrollers like ESP32 and RP2040. It compiles TypeScript to a custom VM bytecode that runs in very constrained embedded environments.
Use cases
- program esp32 with typescript
- write firmware for rp2040 in typescript
- develop iot device code without c
- run scripts on tiny microcontrollers
- build jacdac sensor devices
- typescript development experience for embedded hardware
When to choose
- you know TypeScript and want to target microcontrollers
- you're building small IoT or Jacdac-based devices
- you want a higher-level alternative to C/C++ embedded development
When to avoid
- you need production-grade, mature embedded tooling
- you require maximum performance or fine-grained hardware control
- your target hardware is not supported by the DeviceScript VM
