nodemcu_latest.bin: 0x00000
for most esp8266 modules, just pull GPIO0 down and restart.
You can use the nodemcu-flasher to burn the firmware.
Or, if you build your own bin from source code.
0x00000.bin: 0x00000
0x10000.bin: 0x10000
Better run file.format() after flash

The integration in nodemcu is developed for SSD1306 based display attached via the I2C port. Further display types and SPI connectivity will be added in the future.
U8glib v1.17
#####I2C connection
Hook up SDA and SCL to any free GPIOs. Eg. lua_examples/u8glib/graphics_test.lua expects SDA=5 (GPIO14) and SCL=6 (GPIO12). They are used to set up nodemcu's I2C driver before accessing the display:
sda = 5
scl = 6
i2c.setup(0, sda, scl, i2c.SLOW)#####SPI connection The HSPI module is used, so certain pins are fixed:
- HSPI CLK = GPIO14
- HSPI MOSI = GPIO13
- HSPI MISO = GPIO12 (not used)
All other pins can be assigned to any available GPIO:
- CS
- D/C
- RES (optional for some displays)
Also refer to the initialization sequence eg in lua_examples/u8glib/graphics_test.lua:
spi.setup(1, spi.MASTER, spi.CPOL_LOW, spi.CPHA_LOW, spi.DATABITS_8, 0)#####Library usage The Lua bindings for this library closely follow u8glib's object oriented C++ API. Based on the u8g class, you create an object for your display type.
SSD1306 via I2C:
sla = 0x3c
disp = u8g.ssd1306_128x64_i2c(sla)SSD1306 via SPI:
cs = 8 -- GPIO15, pull-down 10k to GND
dc = 4 -- GPIO2
res = 0 -- GPIO16, RES is optional YMMV
disp = u8g.ssd1306_128x64_spi(cs, dc, res)This object provides all of u8glib's methods to control the display.
Again, refer to lua_examples/u8glib/graphics_test.lua to get an impression how this is achieved with Lua code. Visit the u8glib homepage for technical details.
#####Fonts
u8glib comes with a wide range of fonts for small displays. Since they need to be compiled into the firmware image, you'd need to include them in app/include/u8g_config.h and recompile. Simply add the desired fonts to the font table:
#define U8G_FONT_TABLE \
U8G_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_6x10) \
U8G_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_chikita)They'll be available as u8g.<font_name> in Lua.
#####Bitmaps
Bitmaps and XBMs are supplied as strings to drawBitmap() and drawXBM(). This off-loads all data handling from the u8g module to generic methods for binary files. See lua_examples/u8glib/u8g_bitmaps.lua. Binary files can be uploaded with nodemcu-uploader.py.
#####Unimplemented functions
- Cursor handling
- disableCursor()
- enableCursor()
- setCursorColor()
- setCursorFont()
- setCursorPos()
- setCursorStyle()
- General functions
- setContrast()
- setPrintPos()
- setHardwareBackup()
- setRGB()
####Control a WS2812 based light strip
-- set the color of one LED on GPIO2 to red
ws2812.writergb(4, string.char(255, 0, 0))
-- set the color of 10 LEDs on GPIO0 to blue
ws2812.writergb(3, string.char(0, 0, 255):rep(10))
-- first LED green, second LED white
ws2812.writergb(4, string.char(0, 255, 0, 255, 255, 255))####coap client and server
-- use copper addon for firefox
cs=coap.Server()
cs:listen(5683)
myvar=1
cs:var("myvar") -- get coap://192.168.18.103:5683/v1/v/myvar will return the value of myvar: 1
-- function should tack one string, return one string.
function myfun(payload)
print("myfun called")
respond = "hello"
return respond
end
cs:func("myfun") -- post coap://192.168.18.103:5683/v1/f/myfun will call myfun
cc = coap.Client()
cc:get(coap.CON, "coap://192.168.18.100:5683/.well-known/core")
cc:post(coap.NON, "coap://192.168.18.100:5683/", "Hello")####cjson
-- Translate Lua value to/from JSON
-- text = cjson.encode(value)
-- value = cjson.decode(text)
json_text = '[ true, { "foo": "bar" } ]'
value = cjson.decode(json_text)
-- Returns: { true, { foo = "bar" } }
value = { true, { foo = "bar" } }
json_text = cjson.encode(value)
-- Returns: '[true,{"foo":"bar"}]'
