 As [[http://​lua.org|lua.org]] says, Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight,​ embeddable scripting language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. As [[http://​lua.org|lua.org]] says, Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight,​ embeddable scripting language.

This firmware is based on the [[http://​www.eluaproject.net/​overview|eLua]] platform 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. ​
