A Ruby interpreter implementation for one-chip microcontrollers
README.md

PicoRuby

PicoRuby is the smallest Ruby implementation for one-chip microcontrollers.

Supported Platforms

  • Raspberry Pi Pico (RP2040/RP2350) - R2P2
  • ESP32 - R2P2-ESP32
  • WebAssembly - Browser runtime (work in progress)

Key Features

  • Write microcontroller firmware in Ruby
  • Interactive shell with IRB on-chip
  • Peripheral support: GPIO, ADC, I2C, SPI, UART, and PWM
  • Keyboard firmware framework (PRK Firmware)

Getting Started
