Hello,

Can you please add in File Manager Panel, one scroll box with buttons (up and down) to be possible to open all files in list ?

I use BSPWM on Arch Linux and the GUI doesn't scale to the window width, see this screenshot:

After updating to RC5 the connection no longer gives connecting dots and I get a time out waiting answer from ESP. I have to send node.heap() to get a response.

BTW: Have you ever thought about wireless development?

LUA has telnet capabilities (https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/blob/master/examples/telnet.lua). The IDE would significantly benefit from supporting this as an alternative to serial.

Think about it,

I'm having a bit of trouble getting ESPlorer to autodetect my NodeMCU firmware, what is the expected handshake? It seems to be a caret distance of more than 10? The thing is, this only seems to happen when the device is restarted, not when opening the port. So when opening the port it just hangs unless resetted. Unless autodetect is disabled, then it works fine. I'm a bit new, in earlier versions upon opening the port it printed out the firmware version?

This seems to be the section responsible for autodetecting the firmware:

public void CheckComm() {
        if (!AutodetectFirmware.isSelected()) {
            portJustOpen = false;
            return;
        }
        portJustOpen = true;
        TerminalAdd("\r\nCommunication with MCU..");
        checker = new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                if (portJustOpen) {
                    btnSend("");  // only CR+LF
                    TerminalAdd(".");
                    if (Terminal.getCaretOffsetFromLineStart() >= 10) {
                        TerminalAdd("\r\n");
                    }
                } else {
                    try {
                        openTimeout.stop();
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                        log(e.toString());
                    }
                }
            }
        };
        openTimeout = new Timer(3000, watchDog);
        openTimeout.setRepeats(false);
        openTimeout.setInitialDelay(3000);
        openTimeout.start();
    }

This is the 'error' message I'm getting:

PORT OPEN 115200

Hi
where setup wifi ssid & pass for "wifi conn" button
Thank You

It would be really convenient if there was a dialogue button dedicated to hardware reset to Lua prompt based on the common scheme of a init.lua that bales out on gpio.read(3) == 0.

The button would assert RTS for say 500ms, release it and say 200ms later assert DTR for 5000ms and release it.

This is equivalent to pushing the /RST and FL buttons on the board, but they might be be readily accessible.

I note that this reset scheme does not work as commonly wired in articles on the net, but connecting a diode cathode to GPIO16 and anode to /RST does work on the dev kit boards I have on hand. (Detailed explanation at http://owenduffy.net/blog/?p=10024 .

In a Chinese environment, the Ctrl + Space hotkey is a global hotkey preserved for toggling the Chinese input method. Hence the autocomplete cannot be triggered when the default key combination is pressed.

Could you please describe how to build ESPlorer from source?

I use this script:

print("test 3")

leads to:

When using the right click menu on the lua file in the esp8266 the system hangs and does not create a new script or a save file window.
When connecting an esp8266 with API 2.0 or lower this functionality works correctly.

If I use block comments in my code, I get interpreter errors saying nesting of [[..]] is deprecated.
Resultant file on ESP has all lines uncommented, which is wrong.

e.g.

print("this should print")
--[[
print("this should NOT print")
print("even this should not, since it is block comment")
--]]
print("this should also print")

Above code prints all the lines.

• Problem: The editor uploads items too fast, setting dummy mode to delay of 100ms solves, opening options and closeing options causes this value to reset.

• Solution: make delay of 100ms default.

• Problem: Characters in string are taken as literals.

• Solution: change pyfiller.java->escape to
  `
  public String escape(String str) {
  char ch;
  StringBuilder buf = new StringBuilder(str.length() * 2);
  int intValue;
  for (int i = 0, l = str.length(); i < l; ++i) {

      ch = str.charAt(i);
      if (ch == '"') {
          //intValue = ch;
          buf.append("\\");
          //buf.append(ch);
          buf.append(ch);
      } else if (ch == '\'') {
          intValue = ch;
          buf.append("\\");
          //buf.append(intValue);
      } else {
          buf.append(ch);
      }
      else if(ch == '\\')
      {
          buf.append("\\\\");
      }
      else
      {
          buf.append(ch);
      }
  }
  return buf.toString();
  } // escape`
  

• Problem: file writing adds it all as a single line.

• Solution: Change line 32 of Pifiller to: sendBuf.add("f.write('" + escape(subs) + "\\n')");

If the tooltip is summoned one time, all the GUI get weird and each button redraws the window. Take a look:

Any way to disable tooltips?

I have great request to make:
because of my visual impairment (not so uncommon at my age) it is very hard to me to use ESPlorer with available skins because they are all dark themes (light text on dark/black background). Also current GUI colours (black on grey) are very hard (almost harder)on my eyes. Because of that I'd really to request that you provide at list one light coloured skin (i.e. dark text on white background). I'd request white background for the GUI as well if that is not overly difficult.
If that means too much effort for you - is it possible that I do it myself somehow?? Of course I'd need some instructions how to go about it.

History:
Up to rc2 it was possible to resize the FileManager panel with the files shown in multiple columns when the manager width is increased.

Problem:
After rc2 up to latest rc, the files shown only show in a single column and it is impossible to see all the files on the ESP.

Suggested fix:
Change the FileManager control to be similar as in rc2.
Add a scroll bar to the panel to scroll down to be able to reach all the files on the ESP

My simple test program in Lua:
-------begin---------------
print('tobytest.lua ver 1.0')
wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
-------end-------------------

Termial window displays somthing like following:
--------begin---------------------------------------

file.remove("tobytest.lua");
file.open("tobytest.lua","w+");
w = file.writeline;
w([==[pr>> int('tobytest.lua ver 1.0')]==]);
w([==[wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)]==]);
file.flush();file.close();
dofile("tobytest.lua");
tobytest.lua:2: '=' expected near 'int'
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'dofile'
stdin:1: in main chunk
--------end-------------------------------------------

More information of the problem:
in ESPlorer.java line 12994
------- original code ---------------
delay = LineDelay.getValue();
------- original code end ----------
I found delay is 0 after this line.
If I increases delay， the problem will lessen, but won't solved . (Still similar error if the program saving has a very long line.)

Hello, I use v 0.2.0-rc6 on MacOS.

I've written a file using 'Save to ESP' button.

It was successful.
Then I checked the file using picocom:

And seems that it's empty.

Btw, several times I couldn't even write a file using 'Save to ESP' - the last line was cut.

On my hdpi monitor I get a lot of different font sizes. And many of them too small.

Hi,

I developed something similar, but stop the minute I saw this project! Really great work. HUGE thumbs up!

I've just to minor issues:
-On Mac or Linux the serial ports are named like this: /dev/tty.usbserial-A4001Ib9. This does not fit into the combobox and you have to sort of guess which one is the right.
-You could set a relative working directory or leave it blank. C:... does not exist on none-M$ machines.

Keep on developing.
Thanks
Juergen

Today... when i have installed the JDK 9.0 ESplorer crash everytime ....

hs_err_pid5988.log

I've been chasing sporadic timeouts when running ESPlorer 0.2.0-rc2 against the latest NodeMCU dev branch builds. Even though #22 resolved the most obvious cases, there remain a few more. Specifically, actions which trigger single line commands can fail with timeout under the following conditions:

1. User requests to remove a file, FileRemoveESP() is called.
2. ESPlorer sends command file.remove() and sleeps for ~200 ms.
3. NodeMCU firmware needs more than 200 ms to complete the command and has not yet responded with the > prompt when FileListReload.doClick() is called.
4. So ListFiles() sets up everything to list the files.
5. After total of 270 ms, NodeMCU finally sends the prompt and triggers PortFilesReader. Since the received characters are not related to the intended command for listing the files, it will stop the timer for sending.
6. No further command is sent to NodeMCU and there's no response, thus WatchDog() triggers after a couple of seconds.

I'd guess that simple activities like file.remove() or node.compile() should have some code to wait and consume the resulting prompt. Just sleeping with the expectation that the prompt is received in time can cause such sporadic issues.

So it is very annoying to have to delete it manually before adding a new one.

Se the attatched image. I sent "import os", but it is still in the input. So you can not write and send things fast, because you have to delete all the time.

Thanks.

Add saveas to files, so you can save an file and keep track of versions.

Add a button (Send as init.lua) so that you can send files to the esp and rename them as init.lua

hi, I can't seem to figure out how to send a ctrl-c to terminate a running process, how can I do this?

file.remove("test.lua");
file.open("test.lua","w+");
w = file.writeline
w([==[str = "Hello World!";]==]);
w([==[print(str);]==]);
file.close();
dofile("test.lua");
stdin:1: attempt to call field 'writelinew' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
stdin:1: in main chunk

Each time I hit "Save to ESP" the console returns something similar to this. Just seems like something has been lost. However "Send to ESP" works. No use changing baud rate.

IDE doesn't write LUA file lines to memory
for some reason it uses (file.writeline) command instead of (file.write)

Example:

file.remove("test.lua");
file.open("test.lua","w+");
w = file.writeline
w([==[print("Test")]==]);
file.close();
dofile("test.lua");
stdin:1: attempt to call field 'writelinew' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
stdin:1: in main chunk

Hey Guys,
I don't know if this is already fixed but with v0.2.0-rc3 I experienced that some code was never called.
The reason is this:

-- Do XYZ
print("Do something")

Now this got into:

w([==[ -- Do XYZ ]==]); w([==[  print("Do something"....

So the goal would be to regexp something like /--(.*)/ to /--[[ (.*) --]]/, so that we can fully flash the correct code (Or maybe even escape the --'s when one really wants the same code on the device)

It's pretty easy. Plus it negates the need for a folder since everything is contained.

I am new to programming esp's
When i send my micropython code to the ESP (ESP-01) i see that he is sending each line like this:

f = open('main.py', 'w')
f.write('import fancyStuff')
f.write('do fancyStuff')
f.close();

This result in a oneliner because there is no \n at the end of each line.
When i execute print([x for x in open('main.py').readlines()])
i get this: ['import fancyStuffdo fancyStuff']

Do i have to put a "\n" in each line of my sourcecode to get newlines on my esp?

I'm using ESPlorer on a Mac running El Capitan. While I can use all shortkeys like cmd+A, cmd+C, cmd+V inside the code editor as usual, the command line input field does react only on combinations of ctrl+A, ctrl+C, ctrl+V ignoring the native key combinations.

Would be great to also have an input field + button for sending a ping on the AT station tab.

When a Python file is sent to ESP Flash, the line feeds are getting removed. This results in an invalid python file.

The file uploaded via Esplorer looks like
['def main(): print ("Hello Main2")print('Hello Main 1')main()']

The same file uploaded via WebRepl looks like
['def main():\n', ' print ("Hello Main2")\n', '\n', "print('Hello Main 1')\n", 'main()']

As you can see the "\n" chars are getting removed when sending via esplorer.

Sample python code in main.py

def main():
  print ("Hello Main2")

print('Hello Main 1')
main()

I really don't know what is happening, but when I send or save to nodemcu, lua code, most of the times it can't send and throw stdin errors and in the console I see that what is being sent contains garbage characters and that's why it is breaking. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Example: Sending print("Hello World") -> print(""#$...") and other garbage.

Could you build the .jar file for the new beta or give me a short instruction how I can do it on my own?
Thank You!

In MicroPython mode, Send settings does not stick, and gets reset to "Dumb Mode" with 0ms line delay.
This happens uppon hovering the "Select firmware -> MicroPython" checkbox/text, and after saving a file.

If I change the setting, and make sure not to hover "MicroPython" when changing to the scripts tab, I am able to upload a file, before the settings are reset and I have to change them again.

Could be related to #41, and magic happening there.

You can also clearly see #48 happening here, when hovering the Cancel button.

There is no way to uncheck "AutoRun file after save tor ESP" at settings tab.
Perhaps this is the reason for issue #17.
