I'm thinking it would be nice - once you've defined init.lua if that stuff at the start would not come up.. it really serves no useful purpose and is confusing. Also - if you define your own init.lua - would it be possible to turn off the last line there with the build number etc. If someone has gotten as far as to create the init.lua and get it working - they don't really need that info...

I found this post in the Random Lua Chat section.

I fully agree and support this suggestions as a feature.

- Sun Nov 30, 2014 9:34 pm #3650 The first random "garbage" is probably not garbage.

The chip outputs some status information at 75000 baud, which you can read if you set your baud rate to that. Sadly, it causes frame errors on some tty software set to other baud rates.

I tend to agree that the output of the Lua version and build information should be suppressible. Perhaps it should only appear when there is no init.lua file.

It is obviously useful information, when reporting potential bugs, though.
