#Flash the firmware nodemcu_latest.bin: 0x00000
for most esp8266 modules, just pull GPIO0 down and restart.
You can use the nodemcu-flasher to burn the firmware.

Or, if you build your own bin from source code.
0x00000.bin: 0x00000
0x10000.bin: 0x10000

Better run file.format() after flash

#Connect the hardware in serial baudrate:9600

#Start play

####Connect to your ap

    ip = wifi.sta.getip()
    print(ip)
    --nil
    wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
    wifi.sta.config("SSID","password")
    ip = wifi.sta.getip()
    print(ip)
    --192.168.18.110

####Manipulate hardware like a arduino

    pin = 1
    gpio.mode(pin,gpio.OUTPUT)
    gpio.write(pin,gpio.HIGH)
    print(gpio.read(pin))

####Write network application in nodejs style

    -- A simple http client
    conn=net.createConnection(net.TCP, 0) 
    conn:on("receive", function(conn, payload) print(payload) end )
    conn:connect(80,"115.239.210.27")
    conn:send("GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.baidu.com\r\n"
        .."Connection: keep-alive\r\nAccept: */*\r\n\r\n")

####Or a simple http server

    -- A simple http server
    srv=net.createServer(net.TCP) 
    srv:listen(80,function(conn) 
      conn:on("receive",function(conn,payload) 
        print(payload) 
        conn:send("<h1> Hello, NodeMcu.</h1>")
      end) 
      conn:on("sent",function(conn) conn:close() end)
    end)

####Connect to MQTT Broker

-- init mqtt client with keepalive timer 120sec
m = mqtt.Client("clientid", 120, "user", "password")

-- setup Last Will and Testament (optional)
-- Broker will publish a message with qos = 0, retain = 0, data = "offline" 
-- to topic "/lwt" if client don't send keepalive packet
m:lwt("/lwt", "offline", 0, 0)

m:on("connect", function(con) print ("connected") end)
m:on("offline", function(con) print ("offline") end)

-- on publish message receive event
m:on("message", function(conn, topic, data) 
  print(topic .. ":" ) 
  if data ~= nil then
    print(data)
  end
end)

-- for secure: m:connect("192.168.11.118", 1880, 1)
m:connect("192.168.11.118", 1880, 0, function(conn) print("connected") end)

-- subscribe topic with qos = 0
m:subscribe("/topic",0, function(conn) print("subscribe success") end)
-- or subscribe multiple topic (topic/0, qos = 0; topic/1, qos = 1; topic2 , qos = 2)
-- m:subscribe({["topic/0"]=0,["topic/1"]=1,topic2=2}, function(conn) print("subscribe success") end)
-- publish a message with data = hello, QoS = 0, retain = 0
m:publish("/topic","hello",0,0, function(conn) print("sent") end)

m:close();
-- you can call m:connect again

UDP client and server

-- a udp server
s=net.createServer(net.UDP) 
s:on("receive",function(s,c) print(c) end)
s:listen(5683)

-- a udp client
cu=net.createConnection(net.UDP) 
cu:on("receive",function(cu,c) print(c) end) 
cu:connect(5683,"192.168.18.101") 
cu:send("hello")

####Do something shining

  function led(r,g,b) 
    pwm.setduty(1,r) 
    pwm.setduty(2,g) 
    pwm.setduty(3,b) 
  end
  pwm.setup(1,500,512) 
  pwm.setup(2,500,512) 
  pwm.setup(3,500,512)
  pwm.start(1) 
  pwm.start(2) 
  pwm.start(3)
  led(512,0,0) -- red
  led(0,0,512) -- blue

####And blink it

  lighton=0
  tmr.alarm(1,1000,1,function()
    if lighton==0 then 
      lighton=1 
      led(512,512,512) 
    else 
      lighton=0 
      led(0,0,0) 
    end 
  end)

####If you want to run something when system started

  --init.lua will be excuted
  file.open("init.lua","w")
  file.writeline([[print("Hello, do this at the beginning.")]])
  file.close()
  node.restart()  -- this will restart the module.

####With below code, you can telnet to your esp8266 now

    -- a simple telnet server
    s=net.createServer(net.TCP,180) 
    s:listen(2323,function(c) 
       function s_output(str) 
          if(c~=nil) 
             then c:send(str) 
          end 
       end 
       node.output(s_output, 0)   -- re-direct output to function s_ouput.
       c:on("receive",function(c,l) 
          node.input(l)           -- works like pcall(loadstring(l)) but support multiple separate line
       end) 
       c:on("disconnection",function(c) 
          node.output(nil)        -- un-regist the redirect output function, output goes to serial
       end) 
       print("Welcome to NodeMcu world.")
    end)

####Use DS18B20 module extends your esp8266

    -- read temperature with DS18B20
    t=require("ds18b20")
    t.setup(9)
    addrs=t.addrs()
    -- Total DS18B20 numbers, assume it is 2
    print(table.getn(addrs))
    -- The first DS18B20
    print(t.read(addrs[1],t.C))
    print(t.read(addrs[1],t.F))
    print(t.read(addrs[1],t.K))
    -- The second DS18B20
    print(t.read(addrs[2],t.C))
    print(t.read(addrs[2],t.F))
    print(t.read(addrs[2],t.K))
    -- Just read
    print(t.read())
    -- Just read as centigrade
    print(t.read(nil,t.C))
    -- Don't forget to release it after use
    t = nil
	ds18b20 = nil
    package.loaded["ds18b20"]=nil   

####Operate a display via I2c with u8glib u8glib is a graphics library with support for many different displays. The integration in nodemcu is developed for SSD1306 based display attached via the I2C port. Further display types and SPI connectivity will be added in the future.

#####I2C connection Hook up SDA and SCL to any free GPIOs. Eg. lua_examples/graphics_test.lua expects SDA=5 (GPIO14) and SCL=6 (GPIO12). They are used to set up nodemcu's I2C driver before accessing the display:

sda = 5
scl = 6
i2c.setup(0, sda, scl, i2c.SLOW)

#####Library usage The Lua bindings for this library closely follow u8glib's object oriented C++ API. Based on the u8g class, you create an object for your display type:

sla = 0x3c
disp = u8g.ssd1306_128x64_i2c(sla)

This object provides all of u8glib's methods to control the display. Again, refer to lua_examples/graphics_test.lua to get an impression how this is achieved with Lua code. Visit the u8glib homepage for technical details.

#####Fonts u8glib comes with a wide range of fonts for small displays. Since they need to be compiled into the firmware image, you'd need to include them in app/include/user_config.h and recompile. Simply add the desired fonts to the font table:

#define U8G_FONT_TABLE \
    U8G_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_6x10)  \
    U8G_FONT_TABLE_ENTRY(font_chikita)

They'll be available as u8g.<font_name> in Lua.
