Hi
First I wanted to say that lualoader is a great tool and saves me a lot of work.
I wanted to ask , is this tool also gives you the esp output on the app main screen (which isn't working for me for some reason ) or just types the app message and no piping the print commands or status from the esp...

I don't understand what you are asking.

LuaLoader's screen shows whatever is sent to it by the ESP over the UART as long as the baud rates match.

Rates don't match for the little blurp on reset, so that doesn't show up or shows as garbage, depending on the setting, but can be viewed if you choose the 74880 baud setting and do a power reset.

So according to your answer something is wrong in my lualoader setting because I don't see on screen the output from the esp. is there something I missed that one should change in the settings in order to view the output ?

Actually, I just discovered a bug that may be causing your problem.

The latest build has changed the NodeMcu restart first line to NodeMCU.

If you have "Hide Restart Garbage Data" checked, it is hiding the output from the ESP8266 until it sees the string that never comes. Uncheck that setting and restart LuaLoader and see if that resolves your issue.

I will update LuaLoader soon with that fix. Watch for 0.73.
