- | ==== Open Source NodeLua ==== | + | * [[NodeMCU]] - Initially this was closed source, but was released to open-source in October 2014. This firmware is based on the [[http://www.eluaproject.net/overview|eLua]] plaform and migrated to the ESP8266 and SDK.It is under active development by esp8266 open source community. It helps you to prototype your IOT product within a few Lua script lines. |
