#15265
On a Mac - Yosemite - clean build yesterday. All necessary addins and upgrades (JRE, etc.).
I can upload firmware to my NodeMCU dev Kit - ESP8266-12 - with no problem. I've tried leading edge, bleeding edge, tried and true - in both AT and NodeMCU/LUA variants. I've tried driver changes, reinstalled esptool, everything I can think of.
An immensely frustrating day.
With the latest stable NodeMCU firmware:
Trying to create files - init.lua.
I get an error right from the start.
My file is:
file.open(“init.lua”,”w”)
file.writeline([[print(“WIFI control”)]])
— put module in AP mode
file.writeline([[wifi.setmode(wifi.SOFTAP)]])
file.writeline([[print(“ESP8266 mode is: ” .. wifi.getmode())]])
file.close()
The response from the interpreter is:
> file.remove("init.lua");
> file.open("init.lua","w+"); I don't know where the '+' came from...
> w = file.writeline
> w([[file.open(“init.lua”,”w”)]]);
stdin:1: open a file first I thought I had
> w([[file.writeline([[print(“WIFI control”)]])]]);
stdin:1: nesting of [[...]] is deprecated near '[' I have no idea what this is...
> w([[— put module in AP mode]]);
stdin:1: open a file first
> w([[file.writeline([[wifi.setmode(wifi.SOFTAP)]])]]);
stdin:1: nesting of [[...]] is deprecated near '['
> w([[file.writeline([[print(“ESP8266 mode is: ” .. wifi.getmode())]])]]);

init.lua:1: unexpected symbol near '�'
It's like there is a timing problem. This is my first ESP8266 device, and one I can't find any other corresponding problems with. Changing firmware was straightforward. Using an AT firmware and changing modes, creating an AP, joining it, etc., were all faultless.
But when I go to NodeMCU firmware, I have all sorts of issues.
I replicated exactly what another user had done, the same release of firmware, the same steps in ESPlorer - his worked perfectly, mine doesn't.
Any ideas?
