Going back 3.5 years, ZBS started as a Lua editor to debug Lua scripts that were controlling a small Arduino-based robot (from a mobile device atached to the robot; I was using an iPod at the time). I was looking for something that I could run step-by-step on the device (from a desktop) so that kids/students would see how the robot can react and be controlled by a script.
Can you tell me more about this? I've got a Redpark iPhone serial adapter, and plenty of Arduino (and other) robots around, but haven't yet put them together. I thought I'd have to write the code in Cocoa/ObjC, which is a bit deep into the unpleasant zone for me (and way beyond what I would subject my son to).
But if I could hook it up and do the coding in Lua -- well, that would really be something!
