I am new at this, so if this question is elementary.....sorry.

There must be a way to have a program run at power up all by itself.

I have written a simple program to respond to web commands. Works perfectly, but if I power down the ESP and reapply power, I need to go back into the editor to run the code.

I must be missing something.....

Thanks for any input in advance

When ESP Basic boots it waits for 30 seconds before running the default program.

This is to give you time to clear a bad program if there is a problem with out having to format the device.

Is your program named "default"?

The default program is /default.bas
