It will be possible to sleep device the FW ? :] I want to make my home automation on Atmega328+nRf24, but the network library is still buggy. And then came ESP8266

Is nrf24 and arduino buggy ? You are wrong place: ) esp sdk is very bulgu more than arduino +nrf now : )
I am using atmega328 + 433mhz rf +nrf24 and enc24j80. Its more stable more than esp. Esp platform growing every day but now Its is a child. Maybe we can use without bug one day

I can't get work nrf24 network library, I want to sleep node parent node and if message arrive then send it to base, but the node sleeps . Because the limitation of 6 pipes in nrf24. I know about the deep sleep function, it's not problem for me. I want the radion turn off, then I can wake it by other MCU. But there is no AT command for sleep. I tried to compile IoT example, but after 2 days I get worked only ct-ng compiler.

there is no at command for sleep. you can define your own at function for deep sleep. you must study at example. not iot example.

I've added the scripts as attachment hope they'll help =)

I had a look at your scripts and converted them for (my) use of the serial console.

I saw in your video that you display the content of a file by 2 commands:
filename="filename.lua"
dofile("fileread.lua")

I tried using a function for a 1-liner that allows the filename as a parameter. This work, I like it!

I created the file functions.lua and uploaded it to the ESP

Code: Select all printfile = function (name)
 file.open(name)
  repeat
    line=file.readline()
    print(line)
  until not line
end

On the ESP I execute the file functions.lua once. After that I can use the command printfile("filename.lua") to display the contents of the file.

Code: Select all> dofile("functions.lua")
> printfile("functions.lua")
printfile = function (name)
  file.open(name)
  repeat
    line=file.readline()
    print(line)
  until not line
end
nil

Please note:
- I do not have to use seek to determine the end of file
- the last printed line = NIL, probably because the last line in the file is blank
- in this way you can extend the supported Lua commands as if they were built-in commands

Using this way of working I intend to:
- code all default functions I need in functions.lua. After dofile all functions are available by just typing the name of the function and the required variables.
- When all testing is done, and I am satisfied with the functions I upload the file functions.lua to init.lua to execute the file at boot time.
- for every additional lua file I code, the functions defined are available for use. As a kind of library.

Neat, huh!

That's perfect my way for reading file was very sloppy i tried a similar way with "not line" but strange part was it returned with an endless loop which i thought interesting... looks like i did something wrong Thx for the codes, i'll test them asap =)

it does the job for me =) still kinda buggy in some places but tomorrow after adding the highlight supported editor part and making the gui look better, it'll be something worth to bear with

have you any progress and check your forum inbox Emre
