init.lua

Lua
init script will be started by autostart of nodemcu, scripted in LUA language, change the SSID and passkey according to your Wifi AP, uncomment dofile ("web.lua") if you want to autostart web.lua or the thing.lua script
print('init.lua ver 1.2')
wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
print('set mode=STATION (mode='..wifi.getmode()..')')
print('MAC: ',wifi.sta.getmac())
print('chip: ',node.chipid())
print('heap: ',node.heap())

thing.lua

Lua
sending analog sensor data to ThingSpeak cloud for visualization, replace YOURWRITEKEY with your ThingSpeak write key
