Have the same problem....unfortunately this doesnt work.

NodeMCU 0.9.5 build 20150318 powered by Lua 5.1.4
lua: cannot open init.lua

What are the last 2 lines? Is this what you get on the screen?

Hi, If that is the response from the module, you are connecting. I can't run init.lua until you upload one. Any script can be named init lua. It is a file that the firmware looks for, then executes if it is there. You can call your program init.lua if you want it to execute on reset/startup.
