#Online firmware custom build

For many application, some modules are not used, remove them can free many memory.

Please try Marcel's NodeMCU custom builds cloud service and you can get your own firmware.

#Flash the firmware nodemcu_latest.bin: 0x00000
for most esp8266 modules, just pull GPIO0 down and restart.
You can use the nodemcu-flasher to burn the firmware.

Or, if you build your own bin from source code.
0x00000.bin: 0x00000
0x10000.bin: 0x10000

Better run file.format() after flash

#Connect the hardware in serial baudrate:9600

#Write Lua script to filesystem ####Esplorer Victor Brutskiy's Esplorer support most platforms such as Linux, Windows, Mac OS, etc. This software is opensource and can write lua/lc files to filesystem.

####NodeMCU Studio NodeMCU Studio is written in C# and support Windows. This software is opensource and can write lua files to filesystem.

#Start play

####Connect to your ap

    ip = wifi.sta.getip()
    print(ip)
    --nil
    wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
    wifi.sta.config("SSID","password")
    ip = wifi.sta.getip()
    print(ip)
    --192.168.18.110

####Manipulate hardware like a arduino

    pin = 1
    gpio.mode(pin,gpio.OUTPUT)
    gpio.write(pin,gpio.HIGH)
    print(gpio.read(pin))

####Write network application in nodejs style

    -- A simple http client
    conn=net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0)
    conn:on("receive", function(conn, payload) print(payload) end )
    conn:connect(80,"115.239.210.27")
    conn:send("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.baidu.com\r\n"
        .."Connection: keep-alive\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n")

####Or a simple http server

    -- A simple http server
    srv=net.createServer(net.TCP)
    srv:listen(80,function(conn)
      conn:on("receive",function(conn,payload)
        print(payload)
        conn:send("<h1> Hello, NodeMcu.</h1>")
      end)
      conn:on("sent",function(conn) conn:close() end)
    end)

####Connect to MQTT Broker

-- init mqtt client with keepalive timer 120sec
m = mqtt.Client("clientid", 120, "user", "password")

-- setup Last Will and Testament (optional)
-- Broker will publish a message with qos = 0, retain = 0, data = "offline"
-- to topic "/lwt" if client don't send keepalive packet
m:lwt("/lwt", "offline", 0, 0)

m:on("connect", function(con) print ("connected") end)
m:on("offline", function(con) print ("offline") end)

-- on publish message receive event
m:on("message", function(conn, topic, data)
  print(topic .. ":" )
  if data ~= nil then
    print(data)
  end
end)

-- m:connect( host, port, secure, auto_reconnect, function(client) )
-- for secure: m:connect("192.168.11.118", 1880, 1, 0)
-- for auto-reconnect: m:connect("192.168.11.118", 1880, 0, 1)
m:connect("192.168.11.118", 1880, 0, 0, function(conn) print("connected") end)

-- subscribe topic with qos = 0
m:subscribe("/topic",0, function(conn) print("subscribe success") end)
-- or subscribe multiple topic (topic/0, qos = 0; topic/1, qos = 1; topic2 , qos = 2)
-- m:subscribe({["topic/0"]=0,["topic/1"]=1,topic2=2}, function(conn) print("subscribe success") end)
-- publish a message with data = hello, QoS = 0, retain = 0
m:publish("/topic","hello",0,0, function(conn) print("sent") end)

m:close();  -- if auto-reconnect == 1, will disable auto-reconnect and then disconnect from host.
-- you can call m:connect again

UDP client and server

-- a udp server
s=net.createServer(net.UDP)
s:on("receive",function(s,c) print(c) end)
s:listen(5683)

-- a udp client
cu=net.createConnection(net.UDP)
cu:on("receive",function(cu,c) print(c) end)
cu:connect(5683,"192.168.18.101")
cu:send("hello")

####Do something shining

  function led(r,g,b)
    pwm.setduty(1,r)
    pwm.setduty(2,g)
    pwm.setduty(3,b)
  end
  pwm.setup(1,500,512)
  pwm.setup(2,500,512)
  pwm.setup(3,500,512)
  pwm.start(1)
  pwm.start(2)
  pwm.start(3)
  led(512,0,0) -- red
  led(0,0,512) -- blue

####And blink it

  lighton=0
  tmr.alarm(1,1000,1,function()
    if lighton==0 then
      lighton=1
      led(512,512,512)
    else
      lighton=0
      led(0,0,0)
    end
  end)

####If you want to run something when system started

  --init.lua will be excuted
  file.open("init.lua","w")
  file.writeline([[print("Hello, do this at the beginning.")]])
  file.close()
  node.restart()  -- this will restart the module.

####With below code, you can telnet to your esp8266 now

    -- a simple telnet server
    s=net.createServer(net.TCP,180)
    s:listen(2323,function(c)
       function s_output(str)
          if(c~=nil)
             then c:send(str)
          end
       end
       node.output(s_output, 0)   -- re-direct output to function s_ouput.
       c:on("receive",function(c,l)
          node.input(l)           -- works like pcall(loadstring(l)) but support multiple separate line
       end)
       c:on("disconnection",function(c)
          node.output(nil)        -- un-regist the redirect output function, output goes to serial
       end)
       print("Welcome to NodeMcu world.")
    end)

####Use DS18B20 module extends your esp8266

    -- read temperature with DS18B20
    node.compile("ds18b20.lua")   --  run this only once to compile and save to "ds18b20.lc"
    t=require("ds18b20")
    t.setup(9)
    addrs=t.addrs()
    -- Total DS18B20 numbers, assume it is 2
    print(table.getn(addrs))
    -- The first DS18B20
    print(t.read(addrs[1],t.C))
    print(t.read(addrs[1],t.F))
    print(t.read(addrs[1],t.K))
    -- The second DS18B20
    print(t.read(addrs[2],t.C))
    print(t.read(addrs[2],t.F))
    print(t.read(addrs[2],t.K))
    -- Just read
    print(t.read())
    -- Just read as centigrade
    print(t.read(nil,t.C))
    -- Don't forget to release it after use
    t = nil
	ds18b20 = nil
    package.loaded["ds18b20"]=nil

####Operate a display with u8glib u8glib is a graphics library with support for many different displays. The nodemcu firmware supports a subset of these. Both I2C and SPI:

  • sh1106_128x64
  • ssd1306 - 128x64 and 64x48 variants
  • ssd1309_128x64
  • ssd1327_96x96_gr
  • uc1611 - dogm240 and dogxl240 variants

SPI only:

  • ld7032_60x32
  • pcd8544_84x48
  • pcf8812_96x65
  • ssd1322_nhd31oled - bw and gr variants
  • ssd1325_nhd27oled - bw and gr variants
  • ssd1351_128x128 - gh and hicolor variants
  • st7565_64128n - variants 64128n, dogm128/132, lm6059/lm6063, c12832/c12864
  • uc1601_c128032
  • uc1608 - 240x128 and 240x64 variants
  • uc1610_dogxl160 - bw and gr variants
  • uc1611 - dogm240 and dogxl240 variants
  • uc1701 - dogs102 and mini12864 variants

U8glib v1.18.1

#####I2C connection Hook up SDA and SCL to any free GPIOs. Eg. u8g_graphics_test.lua expects SDA=5 (GPIO14) and SCL=6 (GPIO12). They are used to set up nodemcu's I2C driver before accessing the display:

sda = 5
scl = 6
i2c.setup(0, sda, scl, i2c.SLOW)

#####SPI connection The HSPI module is used, so certain pins are fixed:

  • HSPI CLK = GPIO14
  • HSPI MOSI = GPIO13
  • HSPI MISO = GPIO12 (not used)

All other pins can be assigned to any available GPIO:

  • CS
  • D/C
  • RES (optional for some displays)

Also refer to the initialization sequence eg in u8g_graphics_test.lua:

spi.setup(1, spi.MASTER, spi.CPOL_LOW, spi.CPHA_LOW, 8, 8)

#####Library usage The Lua bindings for this library closely follow u8glib's object oriented C++ API. Based on the u8g class, you create an object for your display type.

SSD1306 via I2C:

sla = 0x3c
disp = u8g.ssd1306_128x64_i2c(sla)

SSD1306 via SPI:

cs  = 8 -- GPIO15, pull-down 10k to GND
dc  = 4 -- GPIO2
res = 0 -- GPIO16, RES is optional YMMV
disp = u8g.ssd1306_128x64_hw_spi(cs, dc, res)

This object provides all of u8glib's methods to control the display. Again, refer to u8g_graphics_test.lua to get an impression how this is achieved with Lua code. Visit the u8glib homepage for technical details.

#####Displays I2C and HW SPI based displays with support in u8glib can be enabled. To get access to the respective constructors, add the desired entries to the I2C or SPI display tables in app/include/u8g_config.h:

#define U8G_DISPLAY_TABLE_I2C                   \
    U8G_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(ssd1306_128x64_i2c) \

#define U8G_DISPLAY_TABLE_SPI                      \
    U8G_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(ssd1306_128x64_hw_spi) \
    U8G_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(pcd8544_84x48_hw_spi)  \
    U8G_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(pcf8812_96x65_hw_spi)  \

An exhaustive list of available displays can be found in the u8g module wiki entry.

#####Fonts u8glib comes with a wide range of fonts for small displays. Since they need to be compiled into the firmware image, you'd need to include them in app/include/u8g_config.h and recompile. Simply add the desired fonts to the font table:

#define U8G_FONT_TABLE \
    U8G_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_6x10)  \
    U8G_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_chikita)

They'll be available as u8g.<font_name> in Lua.

#####Bitmaps Bitmaps and XBMs are supplied as strings to drawBitmap() and drawXBM(). This off-loads all data handling from the u8g module to generic methods for binary files. See u8g_bitmaps.lua. In contrast to the source code based inclusion of XBMs into u8glib, it's required to provide precompiled binary files. This can be performed online with Online-Utility's Image Converter: Convert from XBM to MONO format and upload the binary result with nodemcu-uploader.py.

#####Unimplemented functions

  • Cursor handling
    • disableCursor()
    • enableCursor()
    • setCursorColor()
    • setCursorFont()
    • setCursorPos()
    • setCursorStyle()
  • General functions
    • setContrast()
    • setPrintPos()
    • setHardwareBackup()
    • setRGB()
    • setDefaultMidColor()

####Operate a display with ucglib Ucglib is a graphics library with support for color TFT displays.

Ucglib v1.3.3

#####SPI connection The HSPI module is used, so certain pins are fixed:

  • HSPI CLK = GPIO14
  • HSPI MOSI = GPIO13
  • HSPI MISO = GPIO12 (not used)

All other pins can be assigned to any available GPIO:

  • CS
  • D/C
  • RES (optional for some displays)

Also refer to the initialization sequence eg in GraphicsTest.lua:

spi.setup(1, spi.MASTER, spi.CPOL_LOW, spi.CPHA_LOW, 8, 8)

#####Library usage The Lua bindings for this library closely follow ucglib's object oriented C++ API. Based on the ucg class, you create an object for your display type.

ILI9341 via SPI:

cs  = 8 -- GPIO15, pull-down 10k to GND
dc  = 4 -- GPIO2
res = 0 -- GPIO16, RES is optional YMMV
disp = ucg.ili9341_18x240x320_hw_spi(cs, dc, res)

This object provides all of ucglib's methods to control the display. Again, refer to GraphicsTest.lua to get an impression how this is achieved with Lua code. Visit the ucglib homepage for technical details.

#####Displays To get access to the display constructors, add the desired entries to the display table in app/include/ucg_config.h:

#define UCG_DISPLAY_TABLE                          \
    UCG_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(ili9341_18x240x320_hw_spi, ucg_dev_ili9341_18x240x320, ucg_ext_ili9341_18) \
    UCG_DISPLAY_TABLE_ENTRY(st7735_18x128x160_hw_spi, ucg_dev_st7735_18x128x160, ucg_ext_st7735_18) \

#####Fonts ucglib comes with a wide range of fonts for small displays. Since they need to be compiled into the firmware image, you'd need to include them in app/include/ucg_config.h and recompile. Simply add the desired fonts to the font table:

#define UCG_FONT_TABLE                              \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_7x13B_tr)             \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_helvB12_hr)           \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_helvB18_hr)           \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_ncenR12_tr)           \
    UCG_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_ncenR14_hr)

They'll be available as ucg.<font_name> in Lua.

####Control a WS2812 based light strip

	-- set the color of one LED on GPIO2 to red
	ws2812.writergb(4, string.char(255, 0, 0))
	-- set the color of 10 LEDs on GPIO0 to blue
	ws2812.writergb(3, string.char(0, 0, 255):rep(10))
	-- first LED green, second LED white
	ws2812.writergb(4, string.char(0, 255, 0, 255, 255, 255))

####coap client and server

-- use copper addon for firefox
cs=coap.Server()
cs:listen(5683)

myvar=1
cs:var("myvar") -- get coap://192.168.18.103:5683/v1/v/myvar will return the value of myvar: 1

-- function should tack one string, return one string.
function myfun(payload)
  print("myfun called")
  respond = "hello"
  return respond
end
cs:func("myfun") -- post coap://192.168.18.103:5683/v1/f/myfun will call myfun

cc:post(coap.NON, "coap://192.168.18.100:5683/", "Hello")

####cjson

-- Note that when cjson deal with large content, it may fails a memory allocation, and leaks a bit of memory.
-- so it's better to detect that and schedule a restart. 
--
-- Translate Lua value to/from JSON
-- text = cjson.encode(value)
-- value = cjson.decode(text)
json_text = '[ true, { "foo": "bar" } ]'
value = cjson.decode(json_text)
-- Returns: { true, { foo = "bar" } }
value = { true, { foo = "bar" } }
json_text = cjson.encode(value)
-- Returns: '[true,{"foo":"bar"}]'
