The issues list on GitHub is not the right place to ask for help. Use it to report bugs and to place feature requests. Questions like "how do I ..." or "I can't get this to work ..." should be directed to StackOverflow or esp8266.com.

Stack Overflow

Stack Overflow is the perfect place to ask coding questions. Use one or several of the following tags: esp8266, nodemcu or Lua.
