Usage

This document is by no means complete.

Common options

  • –help will show some help
  • –start_baud set at a default of 9600 (the speed of the nodemcu at boot)
  • –baud are set at a default of 115200
  • –port is by default /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART if on Mac and COM1 on Windows
  • the environment variable SERIALPORT will override any default port

Since v0.2.1 the program works with 2 speeds. It connects at a default (–start_baud) of 9600 baud which is what the default firmware uses. Immediately after first established communication it changes to a higher (–baud) speed which defaults to 115200. This allows all communication to happen much faster without having to recompile the firmware or do any manual changes to the speed. When done and before it closes the port it changes the speed back to normal.
