After flashing an ESP8266 with a custom NodeMCU build ist doesn't work as with the version before. For the custom build I've used the cloud service at http://nodemcu-build.com, the prior version was nodemcu_float_0.9.6-dev_20150704.bin from github.
The problem now is that communication over serial port now is quirky, sometimes it seems to work, sometime not.
Example:
When I list files:
> for k,v in pairs(file.list()) do l = string.format("%-15s",k)
print(l.." >..v.." bytes") end
stdin:1: ')' expected near 'bytes'
>
>
Or when I execute node.chipid()
þ®ÈJÀHƒÌHÜÞ{½ÝÕ½{ommw¯íë= node.chipid()
> = node.cèipid()
stdin:1: '<eof>' expected near 'è'
> = node.,+¥‘¡)
stdin:1: '<name>' expected near ','
> = node.,+¥‘¡)
stdin:1: '<name>' expected near ','
> = node.chipid()
13840686
> = node.chipid()
13840686
> = node.chipid()
13840686
>
In the above exapmle I've executed node.chipid() six or seven times, the latter two times it worked. Errors of this kind happen over and over again, uploading lua files doesn't work, although success was stated.
I've tried it with LuaLoader and LuaUploader, it is reproducable. When flashing the older firmware, everything works as expected, but it doesn't provided some modules I want to use. For flashing I've used ESP8266Flasher.exe.
What is going wrong? What did I do wrong? Changing baud rates did make some differences, but the problems persist.
