publish to npm?

Perhaps you're holding off until it's proven itself a bit?

Anyway, maybe should publish EspruinoTools as well and just add it to dependencies...

Thanks - sorry for the delay but I'm out of the county at the moment.

At least initially I was waiting to see if there would be any problems with it - but it's been quite quiet and now it seems a good time (although I think I ought to fix the flasher first).

Adding the tools would be good too - but we should pull all the crazy module loading stuff from this into an index.js that 'just works'

Hmm, tried to load an example but I think the node serial stuff is wonky. It returns UInt8Array instances instead of strings when used from this tool.

I was hoping to contribute on this project but the necessary workarounds are too painful--jsdom and the like. If someone can extract the necessary communication code into its own library then it'd be more sane.

I'd envision a NodeJS module which was then compiled with browserify for the IDE. You could leverage the same library here, the IDE, and anyone else could build whatever they want on its API. I can help make this happen if you're interested.
