The current version of this module exploits the stdin / stdout pipe functionality and task integration that is now build into the NodeNMCU Lua core.

There are two nice advantages of this core implementation:

Errors are now written to stdout in a separate task execution.
The pipes pretty much eliminate UART and telnet overrun.

Both have the same interface if required into the variable telnet

telnet:open()

Open a telnet server based on the provided parameters.

Syntax

telnet:open(ssid, pwd, port)

Parameters

ssid and password. Strings. SSID and Password for the Wifi network. If these are nil then the wifi is assumed to be configured or auto-configured.

port. Integer TCP listening port for the Telnet service. The default is 2323

Returns

Nothing returned (this is evaluated as nil in a scalar context).

telnet:close()

Close a telnet server and release all resources. Also set the variable telnet to nil to fully reference and GC the resources.

Syntax

telnet:close()

Parameters

None

Returns

Nothing returned (this is evaluated as nil in a scalar context).
