// Nice trick when you don't know where a change comes from
// rewrites a property, and sets a debugger when the property changes

console = console || {}; // just in case

console.watch = function(oObj, sProp) {
   var sPrivateProp = "$_"+sProp+"_$"; // to minimize the name clash risk
   oObj[sPrivateProp] = oObj[sProp];

   // overwrite with accessor

First experiments with NodeMCU to publish the current settings of my adjustable height working desk to MQTT.

NodeMCU can be found here: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware

Note that you'll need a current version with support for floats (which the ultrasonic sensor library utilizes), I'm using 0.9.5 2015-03-18 with float support myself.

Support for the HC-SR04 sensor in NodeMCU can be found here: https://github.com/sza2/node_hcsr04

I provided my slightly adjusted version which makes measuring a non-blocking afair, allowing for callbacks when the measurement completes.

// data comes from here http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2009/the-data.html
// download 1994.csv.bz2 and unpack by running: cat 1994.csv.bz2 | bzip2 -d > 1994.csv
// 1994.csv should be ~5.2 million lines and 500MB
// importing all rows into leveldb took ~50 seconds on my machine

// there are two main techniques at work here:
// 1: never create JS objects, leave the data as binary the entire time (binary-split does this)
// 2: group lines into 16 MB batches, to take advantage of leveldbs batch API (byte-stream does this)
