I was musing about how one could make node-red-mcu-plugin a little simpler, specifically with less software to install and involve. The main idea would be to produce ready-to-go images for popular microcontrollers, e.g. esp32 & pico. This doesn't seem like a popular idea at Moddable but ... well, different debate. Anyway, suppose you had an esp32 image (pico could work the same way) that had:
What node-red-mcu-plugin would do on deploy is:
What this does is completely eliminate the need for esp-idf, and eliminate the need for most of the Moddable SDK on the system running node-red. There is still the step of running the nodered2mcu transform and generating byte code to be done. Some thoughts:
I'm probably missing some stuff, but ideally the end result is that to get started with node-red-mcu-plugin a Node-RED user would:
I used websockets as the communication mechanism in my description, but perhaps using serial is easier as it avoids the step to configure Wifi. Also, all this targets the esp32 'cause I'm familiar with it, I'm sure the same set-up works for pico or pico-W.
