Getting Started

This should work on any machine which can run node-js

Prerequisites

A NodeMCU-compatible board

Flash it with rom from https://nodemcu-build.com/. Add pwm support, and choose 'float' version.

ap_ssid,ap_pass = "esp8266","password";
known_fi = {}
known_fi["ssid"]="password"

edit Board/colors.lua with pin settings

rpin = 1
bpin = 2
gpin = 5

edit Board/init.lua, uncomment dofile (colors or car)

to alter server port settings, see BlocklyWeb/socket.js and main.js
