Binary uploads #9

This is a feature request. As it stands, luatool works for text files. It would be great to have it work with binary files as well. As it stands, I'm not even sure nodemcu firmware provides the facilities to do this.

https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/wiki/nodemcu_api_en#nodecompile seems to indicate that the firware itself can compile lua source files. Not sure if this would work with init.lua directly though

It doesn't work with init.lua. For what it's worth I am now using (nodemcu-uploader)[https://github.com/kmpm/nodemcu-uploader] in my project which does support uploading binary files so I'm no longer personally interested in this feature.

Thanks!

You can also use ESPlorer http://esp8266.ru/esplorer/ for downloading binaries files
