- Sat Apr 02, 2016 6:39 pm #44700 I am new at this, so if this question is elementary.....sorry.

There must be a way to have a program run at power up all by itself.

I have written a simple program to respond to web commands. Works perfectly, but if I power down the ESP and reapply power, I need to go back into the editor to run the code.

I must be missing something.....

Thanks for any input in advance

This is to give you time to clear a bad program if there is a problem with out having to format the device.
