Because turning lights on and off is the "hello world" of hardware 
I built a device for the purpose of learning ESPbasic as well as creating something functional.
So I think I am getting my head wrapped around esp8266 basic. I wonder if someone can confirm that my assumptions below are correct (or incorrect).
1. All variables are global
2. All labels are global i.e. you can gosub any [label] no matter which script file you are in
3. The "default" script always runs at start up
4. Currently there is no way to list script files through the web interface
5. Currently there is no way to read the status of an output pin
6. Comments in code start with " ' "
7. When a user goes to the index url they are presented with the last state of the "canvas" the script is not re-run? i.e. just loading http://mylocalesp82266 does nothing other than displaying the screen buffer?
Here is my "Hello World" The hardware device is a an outlet with a relay attached to pin 14 of the esp8266 it is designed to turn my Chrsitmas tree on and off.
Script File: default
Script File: outlet
Image Files:
Tree off
Tree on
I know this code is a bit crude any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
J
