- Wed May 20, 2015 2:20 pm #17995 1. I have myfile.lua -> Save to ESP -> on download end I get dofile("myfile.lua") .. myfile.lua is running
2. than I make a change in myfile.lua and want to do the same as I did in first point and I get :
myfile.lua:8: only one tcp server allowed

Of course because previous lua file is running ... I think like this ..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I want:
- stop running the first file ... maybe I need to close server first
- Save to ESP next file and run it ..

stop running the first file

Simple way to stop any script on NodeMCU - reboot ESP8266
ESPlorer can help you make it easy. Connect USB-TTL RTS pin with ESP8266 REST pin. Now you can make fast restart ESP8266 by RTS button in ESPlorer ( first click - button down and secon click - button up)
Also, you can use DTR pin.
