At HW Lab, we're excited to introduce a new wave of applications developed for WebScreen using the Elk JavaScript Engine. These apps are designed to enhance your productivity, keep you informed, and make your WebScreen experience more interactive and personalized. In this blog post, we'll showcase some of these innovative apps and show you how you can get involved in creating more.

Why Elk JavaScript Engine?

Elk is a tiny, embeddable JavaScript interpreter specifically designed for microcontrollers and embedded systems. By integrating Elk with WebScreen, we've opened up endless possibilities for developers to create custom applications using JavaScript. This means you can extend the functionality of your WebScreen without delving deep into complex C/C++ code.
