- Fri Mar 10, 2017 4:41 pm #63544 It works on my Linux with esplorer v0.20-RC2. Here is the log from when I use the save button on the "Scripts" menu with AutoSave file to ESP after save to disk selected in settings:

As you can see it just writes each line to the file on the ESP and then runs the file. My blue light starts to blink.
I can't guess what the problem is since I don't use the windows version.

- Fri Mar 10, 2017 11:49 pm #63550 You're show more detail than I see. Here's what I'm getting.

Still using ESPlorer v0.2.0-rc5 per the help page, but the release file says: ESPlorer v0.2.0-rc6

Here's what happens when I try to "Save to ESP". Notice that it seems to drop some lines.

w([==[tmr.alarm( timerId, dly, 1, function()]==]);

w([==[ -- write state to D4]==]);
w([==[ gpio.write(ledPin, ledState)]==]);
w([==[end) ]==]);
file.close();
dofile("ledtry2.lua");

Here's what happens with "Send to ESP": All is happy and the led is blinking.

Oh, hey I just tried "turbo mode" and "Save to ESP" works, but it doesn't echo much to the terminal.

- Sat Mar 11, 2017 12:01 am #63551 I just tried v0.2.0-rc2, and I get the same results as with v0.2.0-rc5.
