Hey there,

I'm trying to run the wifi shield example, but I'm getting this error:

Uncaught Error: Function "getSerial" not found!
 at line 2 col 11
  Serial1.getSerial();
          ^
in function "go" called from line 48 col 4
go();

Not sure where to go, I don't see any other errors like this on the forum

Full Code:

var WIFI_NAME = "The LAN Before Time";
var WIFI_PASS = "redact";
var wifi;

function getPage() {
  require("http").get("http://www.pur3.co.uk/hello.txt", function(res) {
    console.log("Response: ",res);
    res.on('data', function(d) {
      console.log("--->"+d);
    });
  });
}

function go() {
  Serial1.setup(115200,{rx:D0,tx:D1});
  Serial1.getSerial();
  wifi = require("ESP8266WiFi_0v25").connect(Serial1, function(err) {
    if (err) console.log(err);
    console.log("Connecting to WiFi");
    wifi.connect(WIFI_NAME, WIFI_PASS, function(err) {
      if (err) console.log(err);
      console.log("Connected");
      // Now you can do something, like an HTTP request
      getPage();
    });
  });
}

function onInit() {
  Terminal.setConsole();
}

go();

Hi! Where did you get the example from? I'd have thought for the WiFi shield you'd be using the code from https://www.espruino.com/arduino-esp8266 - but there's no mention of Serial1.getSerial there.

Serial1.getSerial(); isn't a function, which is why you get the error - so I think if you just removed that line it'd work.
