That's highly subjective of course but I'd argue that our documentation is far from short. Keep in mind that this is a NodeMCU API documentation. It's neither a tutorial nor is it a Lua primer - it shouldn't be. Likewise I wouldn't turn to Oracle's Java API documentation if I wanted to learn Java.
Hi Marcel,
I can agree on that. Do you happen to know if there exists a tutorial about Wifi-based dataexchanging that goes beyond this simple echo-example?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/368 ... he-esp8266
I'm currently working on modifying this example-code not to just echo the received data but to have a timer who will send a teststring every 5 seconds to a client,
while the client is sending his own (and different) test-string every 2 seconds to the server
Is there a chance to do this with high reliablity? Or is this a task that CAN'T be done reliably by a TCP-connection?
best regards
Stefan
