Video tour of ChiliPeppr NodeMCU Workspace



Why did I create this? ChiliPeppr is a full ecosystem for controlling hardware from software. Programming a device is just the first step. Once it's programmed, you typically need software to control the device as well. ChiliPeppr lets you easily create front-end interfaces to your devices. It is especially suited for controlling multiple devices at the same time.

Additionally, I was having problems using ESPlorer, which I think is a great program, but Java is not a great platform anymore. On my high-resolution display I could barely use ESPlorer. Also, ESPlorer seemed to always use 100% CPU and would kill my laptop battery. ChiliPeppr solves all that.

Please feel free to fork the workspace and add additional features as you see fit.

However, it does not work here (Firefox 44.0) on Windows 7

Debugger says (sorry, german language):
Quellübergreifende (Cross-Origin) Anfrage blockiert: Die Gleiche-Quelle-Regel verbietet das Lesen der externen Ressource auf http://i2dcui.appspot.com/geturl?url=ht ... how/light/. (Grund: CORS-Kopfzeile 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' fehlt).

Here's a screenshot of it loading fine in Firefox

in case it helps others, I had to re-boot after installing the Serial Port JSON Server before it would work. Nice application for this platform although there's a few issues I'm having - for example Upload>Run doesn't do what I expected i.e. allow me to browse to a .LUA file on my HD. Not sure how I would load previously prepared scripts... also, hitting Refresh on NodeMCU Files doesn't show the files already in the device (although the script appears in the serial port console).
