The advantages of remote programming seem pretty obvious if you have a sensor stuck outside somewhere, so I was quite excited to read this blog post http://nutandvoltz.blogspot.co.nz/2015/02/esp8266-remote-lua-console.html which uses a telnet function on the ESP8266 talking to Esplorer via tcp and a redirected dummy serial port in Esplorer;
So I tried it, and it seems to work! The only problem I had is I'm running Debian Linux , not windows; so I tried to set up a port redirection using socat; It's such a complex utility it did my head in a bit; once I added line-end parameters it started working. It looks like this:
So whether Windows or Linux user, this might be a useful add-on technique, and I'm grateful to the blogger, Omar, for exposing the possibilities here.

Code: Select all
although I had to add the appropriate permissions to the device file once it had been (automatically) created so that Esplorer could use it.sudo socat pty,link=/dev/virtualcom0,raw,crnl tcp:192.168.0.104:8080So whether Windows or Linux user, this might be a useful add-on technique, and I'm grateful to the blogger, Omar, for exposing the possibilities here.
