idIoT is an IoT environment based on NodeMCU + ESP8266. NodeMCU is an open-source firmware and development kit that helps you to prototype your IoT product within a few Lua script lines.

idIoT tries to make NodeMCU environment easier to develop using MoonScript and the idiot framework.

Overview

idIoT uses MoonScript to make coding easier for NodeMCU development.

Writing a blinking LED is THAT easy:

every second!, -> toggle pin 4

Or listening a button press:

led = pin 0
on button(5), (pressed)-> toggle led, to: pressed

Or you can descriptively create a buzzer beeper:

buzzer = pin 1
beep = -> close pin 1, for: seconds(1)

Install (OS X Development Environment)

1. Download Driver

First, you need to download SiLabs Serial Driver to connect, send and receive data from/to NodeMCU.

2. Install Dependencies

brew install lua      # Install Lua via Homebrew
sudo easy_install pip # You need to have Python PIP
pip install esptool   # Install ESPTool to interact with NodeMCU
luarocks install moonscript --local # Install MoonScript

3. Download idIoT

idIoT is where the magic starts:

git clone http://github.com/f/idiot.git
cd idiot
make install

Firmware

Enabled Modules

cjson cron encoder enduser_setup file gpio mdns net node tmr uart websocket wifi

To bundle more modules, please use NodeMCU Builder.

Please replace firmware/firmware.bin with if you build custom firmware.

Install Firmware

Run following command to install new firmware.

make reset

Upload Code

make

API

Idiot has simplified API to take control of your board.

Timer

every delay, function

every second!, -> toggle pin 4

wait delay, function

wait second!, -> open pin 4

second

second! -- 1 second
second(0.5) -- half second
second 2 -- 2 seconds
