LUA Programming

[KyleFlores1014]

My main programming language is LUA. Can I program in raspberry pi using lua? I was thinking of programming my ssd1306 using LUA Im a beginner at python and Im really having a hard time at understanding

Looks like lua-periphery is the only GPIO library for Lua that's even remotely being maintained.

The older rpi-gpio code does not support the Raspberry Pi 2 or 3.

That library is based on Ben Croston's python GPIO. So it may be possible to fix it by replacing the cpuinfo.c program in there with the working version from https://sourceforge.net/p/raspberry-gpi ... /cpuinfo.c

If I could spell Lua and had any interest in twiddling GPIOs using Lua I'd have a go at that hack.

It has been a while but I did a simple GPIO toogle benchmark ok Micropython/Lua/Luajit in piCore

Don't remember trying this in Raspbian.

Lua and Python are not too dissimilar (I learnt Lua on NodeMCU after Python on Pi and didn't find it too hard)


Using Lua on Pi - you are new to Pi and not many people can help you
