Running Espruino program outside of the IDE

When you unplug the Espruino device from the USB port does it wipe it's program? I'm trying to get the program to run after plugging it into the USB and not running it through the IDE. I haven't had any success, once I unplug it it doesn't run my program when it gets power again. How do I go about doing that?

Hi. All you have to do is type save() on the left-hand side. It'll save the state of everything (including intervals and watches) into flash.

If you want to run code on startup, create a function called onInit - After saving, Espruino will call it automatically at power on.

Hope that helps!

That's easier than I thought, thank you! And thank you for being so responsive! :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
