Using eLua

[yaleman]

So, being a big python fan I was drawn to using eLua on the Evalbot.

I installed the build that's available on this page -> www.eluaproject.net/en_downloads.html#binaries

It boots fine and I can access it through the serial port fine, but documentation for how to work with this particular board's limited to say the least. Can anyone point me in a direction for some information on the board and how to access things through eLua?

That sounds like a good idea. I haven't heard of eLua before, but it looks like an interesting platform. If we could build a binary tailored to the evalbot, it would probably be a great help to the folks who have bought evalbots but aren't really at the level of getting into all the details of building ARM cross-compilers, writing C for embedded systems, etc.

I'm no help at this point but I think I'll try loading eLua onto my board and play around a bit. I assume you've checked the evalbot datasheets, including board schematics, for details of pin assignments and so on?

I'll have to check out the pinouts... had been looking for them but just found 'em. Hopefully I'll find a way to make a build that has a usable interface to the devices on the evalbot, but I'm not a terribly strong programmer in c and have little time to work on it :S
