Re: New pbLua Beta13o - Lua for the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT

["Mike Panetta" <panetta.mike@...>]

Do you have the source available?  This is exactly the kind of thing I have been thinking about doing for small ARM7 and Cortex-M3 based systems and I would love to at least see how you did the port. :)

Thanks,
Mike

I'd like to announce the latest Beta13o of pbLua.

This is a port of Lua to the LEGO Mindstorms NXT and it runs
the interpreter right on the brick!

This is not a fancy remote control - you can write text base
programs on your Bluetooth equipped phone and send the file
to the NXT to be executed.

This version has reading and writing to FLASH so that you can
store strings to pass into loadstring(). Eventually we'll
have a real file system.

If anyone is interested in using pbLua and the LEGO NXT to teach
programming at a high school or college/university level, then
please contact me off list. (Or on the list if the comments
are useful for other readers)
