I need more information to fix this , maybe right link ? any1 knows ?


In v0.2.0-rc1 and later ESPlorer have new feature: firmware autodetection. Its algo based on answer from firmware when CR+LF send from terminal. NodeMCU answer, for example, is "CR+LF+>". In v0.2.0-rc2 you can disable this autodetection on "Settings" tab (it may be usefull for unsupported firmware or if you use ESPlorer as dumb terminal for usualy works)


I picked up firmware link here: http://esp8266.ru/ ... where I can find supported NodeMCU latest firmware ?

yes, I am new and has many many questions :) sorry, if I could find background somewhere else I will read but I have to ask here. Esplorer looks amazing, for me everything is new, where I can find the background knowledge for such tool ?
Overview how the system works? example: Reload & I got how many lua files are inside, bytes, where are they? which one is working? & others ? how I can find out what means : init.lua:2: pwd:8~64 ? seems something is wrong! what it is wrong? password? with init? I understand init goes after power up & never again, how to use snippets? I have to much question , can you be so kind and link me on the right information destination ? regards me
