- Fri Jun 19, 2015 6:34 pm #20985 When the Lua RTS powers up it powers up in interactive mode listening to the UART, and so you can download a program and execute it, but if you restart the node, this will get lost. But it also first looks for a file "init.lua" on the flash FS and executes it. My FAQ (link below) explains.

Please see my Developer FAQ for Q&A on nodeMCU Lua before asking a question here that's already been answered. This and the other official documentation should be your first reference for developing Lua Apps

- Fri Jun 19, 2015 6:59 pm #20987 Thanks for the quick reply, but that went right over my head.

In layman's terms ??

- Fri Jun 19, 2015 7:12 pm #20990 OK I followed your example, and the LED on the GPIO is flashing at around 0.5Hz - the window in the app shows dofile("inti,lua")

but if the device is reset (soft or by power off / on) the LED stops flashing - Is there a way of loading the code to the devoice so it will run the program when rebooted ?

- Sat Jun 20, 2015 2:02 am #21008 You can use esplorer (really version 0.1? I think i am using 0.2 for some time, cannot check currently.)
to upload the init.lua to the esp.
Using some button on the right you can list the uploaded files.
Make sure to spell "init.lua" right.
