COM wrapper for communication between VS Code and ESP8266/NodeMCU Lua
- Integration with your favorite text editor or developing tool and habits.
- Automation sequences.
- I needed to make the development for the NodeMCU / Lua platform more enjoyable.
- I was inspired by [ESPlorer] (https://esp8266.ru/esplorer).
The application EspComConsole.exe connects to the ESP COM port and makes it available to others over named pipe. It also provides terminal input.
The application EspComCom.exe provides a command line interface between EspComConsole and another application, such as a text editor.
The application EspComDirect.exe provides direct upload to ESP outside EspComConsole.exe.
