Re: [DEV][WiP] Frankenstein firmware for ESP8266

Advice.. if you consider the Lua route - from the start you need to consider RAM. The current implementation has almost no ram left (his idea of storing functions in "files" is good as the functions are in Flash that way) - and the heap collection is currently worse than useless.

Linked from that onewire library is :

Is there any chance of getting something like that included ? (if you're taking requests!)
(One of my goals for playing with the esp8266 is to get some IR proxying over the internet working -ie. receive IR on one board - relay it, and fire it out of another)
If you implement it yourself and send a pull-request - I'll gladly merge.
I've still got a huge todo list for frankenstein.
Namely, console subsystem needs refactoring. When done right we'll be able to use telnet to connect to frankenstein shell instead of only uart. Afterwards - UART/TCP bridge mode. Will be pretty simple to implement, after refactoring's done. Next will properly be either embedded lua (if nodemcu guys won't open up, which I doubt they will. Not being open screws up pretty much the whoe idea of their firmware. Weird folk.) or mysql-client, which was my original plan for frankenstein. I wanted a way to just run mysql queries on a database via uart.
