Hello,
I am new to firmware and even newer to the ESP and Lua, so please forgive me if my questions are at a very high level. I am trying to establish a telnet session using an ESP8266 and Lua. So far, my approach has taken two paths: First, I connected to my ESP8266 module using the LuaLoader application and ran some example code to test functionality. Next, I tried to incorporate the LuaSocket network library to allow for telnet connectivity. However, I managed to only get LuaSocket implemented in the SciTE command line, and with my limited knowledge I do not know how to connect to the ESP8266 in the command line. I would prefer to be able to access LuaSocket through LuaLoader, but I cannot find the equivalent of a 'require' function that I would use to call a library.
So, right now I have two paths that I need to combine in order to establish this telnet session. Can anyone give me advice on my current approach, or maybe direct me to a better approach if you think this is not the best?
Thanks for the help.
