FirmataLua is an application program to be able to operate GR-KURUMI by using the Firmata protocol.
The program of GR-KURUMI can be written in the Lua language. A special command of digitalWrite etc. was prepared.
It is the same as Luarida of another application program excluding a special command for GR-KURUMI. Please refer to the explanation of the command of Luarida.
Still, please feel free to contact me when you want you to add the command for GR-KURUMI though the command for GR-KURUMI is insufficient.
There is Lua program complete set of FirmataLua about the SD card/FirmataLua/as follows.
Moreover, there are sketch.cpp file and kurumi_sketch.bin file for GR-KURUMI/FirmataLua/sketch/KURUMI/as follows.
Please forward this sketch.cpp and do the build by the Web compiler or forward kurumi_sketch.bin to GR-KURUMI.
If GR-KURUMI that writes kurumi_sketch.bin is connected with Android by using the FTDI substrate etc. and FirmataLua is started, the communication is begun.
The Lua program is only executed now. Program (lchika.lua) that lights LED as a sample for KURUMI is appended.

Firmatalua.lua that exists in the FirmataLua folder of the SD card is the main menu program. This is a selection menu in the script.
If the made script file name is added to the Menu table of firmatalua.lua, it is OK to start the script of making by oneself.
Moreover, if the short cut is pasted to the home screen, the Lua script can be started directly because the short cut of the lua file can be made.
The explanation of a command is written on the Web site displayed at the end. Please look at the explanation of Lua because the syntax is Lua language.
The program can be written only with Android by using the editor. Jota Text Editor is recommended.
