ESPlorer and AT Commands
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 3:08 pmHI
Only been playing with an ESP-01 and an ESP-12E for a couple of days, having all sorts of problems understanding the different firmware options and capabilities and only stumbled over ESPlorer today. I have finally sorted out which firmware I flash in order to gte different capabilities, a lot of articles on the web use AT commands, other use nodemcu Lua and others the Arduino IDE, and as I initially got my ESP-12E working with AT commands and then lost them when I flashed an Arduino sketch I want to use some of that background reading on the AT commands and so was very interested when I saw ESPlorer and the fact that it not only supported the nodemcu Lua but apparently also the AT command set.
"The essential multiplatforms tools for any ESP8266 developer from luatool author’s, including a LUA for NodeMCU and MicroPython. Also, AT commands are supported.
Required JAVA (SE version 7 and above) installed."
I donwloaded and installed the latest version from https://esp8266.ru/esplorer/#download, which says it is v0.2.0-rc6, but when installed the top line says it is v0.2.0-rc5. Anyway, I have manged to create the LED script and uploaded it to the ESP-12E and my little LED now faithfully blinks every second, even after a reboot, as I saved it as init.lua
But whenever I try and use the AT commands tab I get a message, say RST or GMR
stdin:1: '=' expected near '+', despite hours playing around and researching around the web I couldn't find anything on this until I noted a comment (somewhere) that At commands might not available until v0.22 - can someone confirm if the AT commands should work in v0.2.1-rc5 and if yes than anyone got any idea why I am getting this error ?
Many thanks
