- Wed Feb 25, 2015 1:11 pm #10707 I'm using LuaLoader 0.83

I have init.Lua set to connect to my wifi and then run another script.

But, how do I get this to STOP doing this so I can upload a new file?

Thanks,

Mike

- Wed Feb 25, 2015 1:15 pm #10708 I got myself into a situation where my init.lua eventually called uart.on that disabled the lua interpreter running code it received over serial. The only way I could find to fix the issue was to use esptool.py to erase flash then I re-flashed the firmware for good measure. Then in ESPlorer it would start up with the "failed to open init.lua" or whatever error message and I was good to go.

- Wed Feb 25, 2015 1:27 pm #10709 I normally deleted it. I select the init.lua file in ESPlorer, connect the chip and when i see data coming from the ESP8266 I click remove. This will delete the init.lua file, then do a reset and it only gives a error no init.lua file found. But you will be able to upload new files.
