memstatus

Task view on GitHub

Background task that prints Lua and bitmap RAM every few seconds.

This is a very simple script that can be run as a background task on your model config.

It is useful within the simulator when tracking memory usage of your script.

Install: copy the folder to SCRIPTS:/memstatus/ on the radio (or the simulator's scripts/ folder) and restart.

-- Simple script that can run as a background task.
-- it will print out memory status to the console every 
-- 5 seconds (or whatever interval you set)
-- this is helpfull when building memory sensitive scripts
-- as it can aid tracking down memory intensive code.
