@zeroday: I am compiling on Windows. When the repository is checked out into a folder which has a space somewhere in it's path, launching esptool.py gives an error.

Please change in the Makefile

ESPTOOL = ../tools/esptool.py
to
ESPTOOL = python '../tools/esptool.py'

to fix this problem. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

you can change the Makefile yourself, or stop using spaces in paths (silly idea for everything!)

by adding the python bit you are ignoring the shebang in esptool.py and forcing the use of the system python rather than the one configured by virtualenv.

plus you're moving away from how the upstream esptool works.

this should absolutely not get put into nodemcu-firmware

add node.compile() api to compile lua text file into lua bytecode file.

this will reduce memory usage noticeably when require modules into NodeMCU.

raise internal LUA_BUFFERSIZE from 1024 to 4096.

lua require("mod") will load "mod.lc" file first if exist.

build latest pre_build bin.

- Tue Feb 17, 2015 3:17 am #9992 Why is LUA_USE_MODULES_WS2812 in user_config.h commented out? I understand that it will be refactored into some future device driver section, but IMO there is no reason to disable it in the meantime.
