Included command reference

Core commands (automatically loaded, when begin() is called)

  • help: Show a list of all possible commands with descriptions
  • clear: Clear terminal screen using ANSI commands (only working when using an ANSI compatible terminal)
  • echo: Echo the parameter strings
  • history: Show the recent command history
  • multiline_mode: Switch multiline mode on or off. When it is on, lines get break into a second line, if it gets too long.
  • env: List all environment variables
  • declare: Change the value of an environment variable (syntax: declare VARIABLE Value or declare VARIABLE "Long Value")

System commands (loaded by calling registerSystemCommands())

  • sysinfo: Prints info about the chip model, revision, ESP-IDF version, EFuse MAC, flash and PSRAM
  • restart: Restarts the system
  • meminfo: Show informations about used and free Heap
  • date: Shows and set the current system time. Change time with date -s "2022-07-13 22:47:00". Timezone can be set by changing the TZ env variable (e.g. declare TZ CET-1).

Network commands (loaded by calling registerNetworkCommands())

  • ipconfig: Shows information about WiFi connection
  • ping [HOST]: Pings a hostname. You can change the number of pings done with -nparameter. Use -n 0 for infinite pinging. You can stop the ping by Strg + C or Strg + D.

VFS commands (loaded by calling registerVFSCommands())

This functions allows you to navigate through and edit files in ESP-IDFs Virtual Filesystem. Things likes SPIFF, SDCards, some hardware and more are getting mounted into VFS with different prefixes. The following commands allow an unified access on it.

  • pwd: Show the current working directory (the directory we are currently in)
  • cd [PATH]: Change the current directory
  • ls [PATH]: List the contents of the current or given directory
  • cat [FILES...]: Show the content of the given files
  • rm [FILE]: Delete the given file
  • rmdir [DIR]: Delete the given director
  • mv [ORIGIN] [TARGET]: Moves/Rename the file to new name/posiion
  • cp [ORIGIN] [TARGET]: Copies the contents of origin to target file
  • edit [FILE]: Opens a file editor with a visual editor. Use Strg + S to save, Strg + Q to quit and Strg + F to search in file.

GPIO commands (loaded by calling registerGPIOCommands())

The commands allow you to read and change the states of the ESPs GPIO pins. They are similar to the arduino included functions:

  • pinMode [PIN] [MODE]: Change the pinMode of an GPIO
  • digitalRead [PIN]: Reads the state of an digital GPIO
  • digitalWrite [PIN] [LEVEL]: Changes the state of an digital GPIO
  • analogRead [PIN]: Reads the voltage applied to an analog GPIO in millivolts
