- Mon Dec 22, 2014 5:58 am #5393 Im probably missing something

But to run the lua script, does it need to be uploaded every time the module is reset?

Or is it saved and rerun after a reboot

I.e can lua be used for a standalone esp8266 or only one with a Microcontroller attached to upload the script?

- Mon Dec 22, 2014 6:46 am #5395 When the LUA firmware is installed, after reboot it looks if init.lua is present. Then LUA is executing this file, please include in init.lua other files with "dofile".

This is my file init.lua:

Code: Select allprint('load LoaLoader')
dofile("LuaLoader.lua")

print('load WifiConnect')
dofile('WifiConnect.lua')

tmr.alarm(1,2000, 1, function()
   if wifi.sta.getip()==nil then
      print(" Wait for IP --> "..wifi.sta.status())
   else
      print("New IP address is "..wifi.sta.getip())
      tmr.stop(1)
      print('load DS18B20')
      dofile('DS18B20.lua')
   end
end)

print('init.lua ready')

I will research how to create the init.lua file on the device

- Mon Dec 22, 2014 2:36 pm #5462 You just write it in a texteditor, save it as init.lua and upload it using for example the LuaLoader:
