Hello, Open Source!

Welcome to the Open Source Spotlight (aka.ms/hello-oss) which airs every Tuesday 10:30 am PT / 1:30 pm ET on Hello World on Learn TV (aka.ms/LearnTV). This week we’ll be looking at…

TinyGo

[Update: Today’s show has just gone live on YouTube!]

A Go Compiler For Small Places.

Hello, TinyGo!

package main

import (
    "machine"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    led := machine.LED
    led.Configure(machine.PinConfig{Mode: machine.PinOutput})
    for {
        led.Low()
        time.Sleep(time.Millisecond * 500)

        led.High()
        time.Sleep(time.Millisecond * 500)
    }
}

WebAssembly with TinyGo

The first book about TinyGo just came out!

Also take a look at…

GoCV, which we covered on a previous Open Source Spotlight episode (gocv.io | aaronmsft.com/posts/gocv/ | YouTube ), and GoBot (gobot.io), which plays nicely with TinyGo!

I’d love to hear any feedback, questions, or help out if you are trying any of these projects or examples.
