Controlling Esp unit from cloud using websockets?

Sorry for such a late response, my laptop broke and I had to reset up everything from scratch on a new machine.

So one of my goals here was to get the REPL to be accessible over websockets. I tried the following as suggested, and it resulted in the program emitting the following error messages over websockets to my webIDE.

ws.on('message', function(msg) { LoopbackB.write(msg); });
LoopbackB.on('data',function(msg) { ws.send(msg); });

complete code

var host = "192.168.1.***";
var WebSocket = require("ws");
var ws = new WebSocket(host, {
  path: '/',
  port: 8080, // default is 80
  protocol: "echo-protocol", // websocket protocol name (default is none)
  protocolVersion: 13, // websocket protocol version, default is 13
  origin: 'Espruino',
  keepAlive: 60,
  headers: {
    some: 'header',
    'ultimate-question': 42
  } // websocket headers to be used e.g. for auth (default is none)
});

ws.on('open', function() {
  console.log("Connected to server");
  ws.send("esp:Connected");
});

ws.on('message', function(msg) {
  LoopbackB.write(msg.toString()); 
});

LoopbackB.on('data',function(msg) {
  ws.send(msg); 
});

setTimeout(function() {
  LoopbackA.setConsole();
},100);

Error transmitted over websockets continually until program is forced to stop

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any insight? line 19 is just closing braces.
