Module "NetworkJS" not found

Hi,

I got my lovely PICO Ultimate Toy Kit today :-)

I thought I'd start with trying out the ESP8266, so I soldered it on using the shim.
I then tried the example code from http://www.espruino.com/ESP8266
but on sending to espruino I get:

WARNING: Module "NetworkJS" not found

I can't see NetworkJS.js in http://www.espruino.com/modules/ ?
Any ideas?

Many thanks

Graham.

NetworkJS should be builtin... (I haven't tried it yet though)

Are you using latest firmware version?

Nope, I'm seeing the same thing :-/

Maybe it works in a cutting edge build, but advanced flash firmware doesn't seem to work anymore...

Argh. Sorry, I was pretty sure it had for into the release. I'll put a new one out this morning, and will fix the advanced flash too.

Ok, all fixed. I just released 1v76 which has a bunch of changes, and fixed the Web IDE (it should auto-update over the next hour or so - but for normal flash updates the old one will work fine).

Sorry about that - in the rush to get them out I'd forgotten to do the new release. The NetworkJS module is actually built in to Espruino (in 1v76). It lets you write a network device driver in JavaScript (like is done for the ESP8266 now).

Basically the old built-in driver needed a few tweaks to work with the ESP8266 modules I got for the KickStarter campaign, but it became apparent it was pretty nasty inside. This new one is written in JS and should be a bit easier to change and add to - hopefully it'll also be the start of support for GSM modules as well.

Great to see the ESP8266WiFi module done in Javascript. Does NetworkJS require USE_NET in the espruino build?

@the1laz yes, it will... I'm including it in all builds (wiznet + cc3000) at the moment, but it's also possible to build without either cc3k or wiznet and still use the ESP8266 (which should free up a bit of RAM and a lot of flash :)

At some point in the future I may pull the 'AT' module into Espruino, but for now absolutely all the ESP8266 stuff is JS.

@gfwilliams Awesome. Freeing up flash was why I asked.

NetworkJS not found error again ! After many years ;; Espruino WiFi board.

Are you using up to date firmware? Do you have an example of how/where you get the error? I just tried here with 1v93 and it works great

Ok. I see. I reset my flash, put the wifi require in an onInit function, without actually connecting to the WiFi (since I need that at times only). It works now. I understand that the networkJS is a native inbuilt module and bundled with the firmware.

Thanks so much !
