LUA USB terminal

Yet another small software to check USB communication with Pinguino.
I wrote this command line tool for Linux to test USB communication. It can be used as a serial terminal to check process value or text sent from and to Pinguino.
Originally, it shall be made with Python, but due to a problem with Python thread and Libusb, i tested it with LUA, and it works !!
It can be used both on a computer or on an embedded system ( FONERA 2 for example ).

Everything to install and use it is explained on the tutorial website in a new tools chapter.

LUA with Pinguino

This new tutorial explain how to use USB communications with LUA. This example was both tested on a computer an on a FONERA 2.0.
My goal is to use LUA to make a USB terminal.

See this tutorial on the tutorial website.

Variables initialisation in Pinguino

/* DEPRECATED */
/* modified in beta 5 */

Initialisation of variables must be done in the setup() loop instead of head of the program.

In Pinguino you must do this:

int led1;

void setup()
{
led1=1;
}

Pinguino do not accept

int led1=1;


We are trying to fix this bug......................
