grunt-espruino

> Deploy code to an espruino microcontroller as part of a grunt setup.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.0

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

``shell
npm install grunt-espruino --save-dev
`

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

`js
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-espruino');
`

Espruino task

_Run this task with the grunt espruino command._

There are a number of options available. Either boardSerial or port must be supplied, as well as file:

#### boardSerial
Type: String

This defines the manufacturer serial number of the board that we are deploying to. Can be pulled from the board over serial using getSerial() function.

#### port
Type: String

This defines the serial port that you want to deploy to. Not as fancy as using boardSerial but it works.

#### file
Type: String

Path to the file that you want deployed.

#### listen
Type: Boolean

Whether to leave the serial connection open after deploy and listen.

#### watch
Type: Boolean

If true watches file for any changes and redeploys.

#### save
Type: Boolean

If true uploaded code is saved to the espruinos flash. Set to false when in development for much shorter deploy times.

`js
// Simple config to deploy to a single board
grunt.module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
espruino: {
upPin: {
boardSerial: '33FFD605-41573033-15720843',
file: 'upPin.espr.js'
}
}
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-espruino');

grunt.registerTask('default', ['espruino']);
}
`

`js
// Development config, doesnt save so that deploys are faster. Watches for any changes and redeploys.
grunt.module.exports = function(grunt) {
grunt.initConfig({
espruino: {
upPin: {
boardSerial: '33FFD605-41573033-15720843',
file: 'upPin.espr.js',
save: false,
watch: true
}
}
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-espruino');

grunt.registerTask('default', ['espruino']);
}
