pblua for xlua? Could it be done?

[cel]

Hi,

Could pblua (a lua wrapper for lego mindstorms) be compiled against xlua? if so could someone compile it?

check http://www.hempeldesigngroup.com/lego/pbLua/

Thanks

This doesn't look like something that would be compatible with XLua at all.

If I'm understanding pbLua correctly, it's actually to run Lua programs on the lego bricks themselves, and communication with the PC (if any) is done over a serial bridge. In this context I can't see where any features of XLua would even be relevant. If your intention is to communicate directly with the NXT from an MMF application, then you'd need either an MMF, or other Lua C library, that implements the XMODEM protocol and can connect to the NXT terminal.

There was an extension in MMF 1.5 that made this possible.. i think i was called the 'serial object'... maybe someone would convert it; if it is what you need

yep, there was one extension for mmf 1.5 called lego, but this one was for the older mindstorms (rcx I believe, not nxt)

pity xlua wouldn't work...

if someone could convert the serial object to communicate with the nxt that would be brilliant...

thanks for your answers

Not sure of the link but there was a new version of this or the same thing by another extension developer. On the website they had a video where they used the object to change the colors of a light.

Edit, links -

Click the website they have and there is a link to the video somewhere, it looks like just the object to communicate with external devices.

You can use the Python object and this, probably.
