Hello, I am new here and I am struggling to flash and use espruino with Esp boards.

Can you please help me and post up to date tutorial so I can know how to push code to the board(permanently) and how to debug board?

Hi @Svarog and your Greehouse controller success from Feb 2020?

See Bullet #6 'We're not able to support you if you have problems using these boards. If you want support, get an official board'

Clearly stated in several places that support is provided with official boards, and . . .

Just beneath heading 'Other Boards' where ESP32/ESP8266 is listed and clearly visible:

'After you've got a board, head to the Download page and then follow the instructions below in order to flash your board.'

You'll find complete instructions that many have successfully used.

Specific step-by-step instructions

Where exactly in the step sequence does the difficulty occur?

'how to push code to the board(permanently) and how to debug board?'

On any Espruino.com page within the Google Search box (top right):   'save' & 'debug' worked for me  ;-)

Hi Robin,

It's been a year and I didn't work on this and I completely forgot how I did it at the time. I wanted to refresh knowledge and got stuck with flashing and pushing the code. Sorry for the inconvenience.

After a few hours of reading the documentation and examination I managed to make my esp8266 to connect to wifi and mqtt...

I have a new questions since you answered my previous question.

1. I do not understand the concept how espruino works. I am used to Arduino loop function and I can't get my head around how it works on espruino? How can I achieve the same behaviour in espruino?
   

2. I guess that this code snippet listens for message 'connected' from mqtt broker and then executes the subscription to certain topics?

   mqtt.on('connected', function(pub) {//subscribe to topics});
   

3. Can you please point me how to define pins for digital read and write? I am unable to find the documentation for that?

Thanks :)
