* Create mispec_file.lua * Initial commit of gambiarra * Adapt gambiarra to NodeMCU * adapt to NodeMCU spacing and add nok functionality * Some refactoring to make it easier to add new functionality * Add methode `fail` to check failing code and pass error messages to output - fail can be called with a function that should fail and a string which should be contained in the errormessage. - Pass failed check reasons to output. * Create gambiarra_file.lua * Add reporting of tests that failed with Lua error * ok, nok and fail will terminate the running test * Add capability to run sync and async tests in mixed order and have a task.post inbetween them * fix gambiarra self test to also run on device (not only host) Use less ram in checking tests directly after they ran. Use nateie task.post to tame watchdog. * Update file tests + add async tmr tests * Another fix in executing async test * Catch errors in callbacks using node.setonerror * change interface to return an object with several test methods * Update README.md * Change interface of Gambiarra + add reason for failed eq * Update gambiarra documentation * Add coroutine testcases to gambiarra * Delete mispec_file.lua as it is superseeded by gambiarra_file.lua * improve regexp for stack frame extraction * Use Lua 53 debug capabilities * move actual tests upfront * remove debug code + optimization * Show errors immediately instead of at the end of the test, freeing memory earlier * Split tests to be run in 2 tranches * rename to NTest and move to new location * Add tests to checking mechanisms * Add luacheck to tests * Some pushing around of files * more (last) fixes and file juggling * Minor tweaks and forgotten checkin * Add NTest selftest to travis * Trying how to master travis * another try * restrict NTest selftest to linux |

NodeMCU 3.0.0
A Lua based firmware for ESP8266 WiFi SOC
NodeMCU is an open source Lua based firmware for the ESP8266 WiFi SOC from Espressif and uses an on-module flash-based SPIFFS file system. NodeMCU is implemented in C and is layered on the Espressif NON-OS SDK.
The firmware was initially developed as is a companion project to the popular ESP8266-based NodeMCU development modules, but the project is now community-supported, and the firmware can now be run on any ESP module.
Summary
- Easy to program wireless node and/or access point
- Based on Lua 5.1.4 but without
debug
,io
,os
and (most of the)math
modules - Asynchronous event-driven programming model
- more than 65 built-in modules
- Firmware available with or without floating point support (integer-only uses less memory)
- Up-to-date documentation at https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io
LFS support
In July 2018 support for a Lua Flash Store (LFS) was introduced. LFS allows Lua code and its associated constant data to be executed directly out of flash-memory; just as the firmware itself is executed. This now enables NodeMCU developers to create Lua applications with up to 256Kb Lua code and read-only constants executing out of flash. All of the RAM is available for read-write data!
Programming Model
The NodeMCU programming model is similar to that of Node.js, only in Lua. It is asynchronous and event-driven. Many functions, therefore, have parameters for callback functions. To give you an idea what a NodeMCU program looks like study the short snippets below. For more extensive examples have a look at the /lua_examples
folder in the repository on GitHub.
-- a simple HTTP server
srv = net.createServer(net.TCP)
srv:listen(80, function(conn)
conn:on("receive", function(sck, payload)
print(payload)
sck:send("HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n<h1> Hello, NodeMCU.</h1>")
end)
conn:on("sent", function(sck) sck:close() end)
end)
-- connect to WiFi access point
wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
wifi.sta.config{ssid="SSID", pwd="password"}
Documentation
The entire NodeMCU documentation is maintained right in this repository at /docs. The fact that the API documentation is maintained in the same repository as the code that provides the API ensures consistency between the two. With every commit the documentation is rebuilt by Read the Docs and thus transformed from terse Markdown into a nicely browsable HTML site at https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io.
- How to build the firmware
- How to flash the firmware
- How to upload code and NodeMCU IDEs
- API documentation for every module
Releases
Due to the ever-growing number of modules available within NodeMCU, pre-built binaries are no longer made available. Use the automated custom firmware build service to get the specific firmware configuration you need, or consult the documentation for other options to build your own firmware.
This project uses two main branches, release
and dev
. dev
is actively worked on and it's also where PRs should be created against. release
thus can be considered "stable" even though there are no automated regression tests. The goal is to merge back to release
roughly every 2 months. Depending on the current "heat" (issues, PRs) we accept changes to dev
for 5-6 weeks and then hold back for 2-3 weeks before the next snap is completed.
A new tag is created every time dev
is merged back to master
. They are listed in the releases section here on GitHub. Tag names follow the <SDK-version>-master_yyyymmdd pattern.
