    Ahh, it makes sense now. My server is set to broadcast all messages to all ws devices that are connected. I'll reconfigure it with an ID system for routing. That should hopefully solve my issue.

    I'll keep you updated thanks!

    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.

    Ok Ill try that, but I think the infinite loop is being caused by the ws server broadcasting the msg to everyone. So basically if the device sends something it gets something back which it then sends out again... I'll have to update my server for individual addressing.

    edit. I tried that and there was no response at all. Im going to work on the indvidual addressing for ws to fix the bounce back of msgs for the esp8266.

    Ok so I put in the `setTimeout(function() { LoopbackA.setConsole();},100); and it WORKS!!! HUZZAH, but there is an issue, after sending over the response, it sends over an infinite stream of the error after logging the return. I have to reset manually to kill the stream.

    I think this is because the error msg itself counts as data and so the LoopbackB.on('data',function(msg){ ws.send(msg); }); function goes into an infinite loop.

    Webconsole below.

    Ok I think I know what the issue is basically the write method has an issue with passing it functions. Feel free to look at the screenshot or logs below.

    When I pass LoopbackA.write("Hello"); , Hello is transmitted across ws.

    When I pass LoopbackB.write(digitalWrite(D5,1)); The LED is turned on, but the error below is given.

    When I pass LoopbackB.write(digitalWrite(D5,0)); The LED is turned off, but the error below is given.

    When I pass console.log("test"); test prints out to the ESPRUINO IDE but is not transmitted and the same error is given.

    I also tried directly passing console.log("test"); into LoopbackB but got the same error.

    Check out the attached screenshot, it's much easier to see.
    Console from ESPRUINO WEB IDE

    >LoopbackA.write("Hello");
    =undefined
    >LoopbackA.write(digitalWrite(D5,1));

     at line 1 col 35
    LoopbackA.write(digitalWrite(D5,1));

    The issue seems to be either LoopbackA.setConsole(); or LoopbackB.write(command());
    The function we wrote works when testing using the usb console LoopbackA.write("Hello");

    Im going to try and use the eval function and see if it makes a difference.

    I was messing around and shifting code, I moved LoopbackA.setConsole(); to the bottom, and the device started to transmit error messages to my webUI over websockets!!! So it's possible just not configured correctly.

    in function "command" called from line 2 col 27
      LoopbackB.write(command());
                              ^
    in function called from system

    I am very EXCITED will keep you guys posted.

    That didn't work either, I will start debugging now, and will let you guys know when I find the solution.

    hmm it makes sense, but when I execute the code and send over something along the lines of console.log("hi"); the loopback wont trigger the ws.send(msg); to send me back hi I'm not sure if I just misunderstood the concept.

    My understanding is that LoopbackA and LoopbackB are connected, data sent to one comes out the other one. In this manner, if I set console to LoopbackA, and then write my ws incoming command the following function should work.

    I've been testing with console.log("Hello"); from my ws server and I expect Hello back. I know the ws stuff is working fine, so it's probably that i miscoded the loopbacks.

    LoopbackA.setConsole();
    
    var host = "192.168.1.103";
    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) {
      console.log(msg);
      var command = new Function(msg);
      LoopbackA.write(command());
      });
    
    
    LoopbackB.on('data',function(msg){
     ws.send(msg);
    });
