Hello friends, it turns out that I want to implement a patch to be able to reboot the esp8266, but I have not seen any information on how to do it, in arduino it can be done with ESP.restart(); and I would like to be able to do it from xod.
any ideas?

Try:

I’ve put ESP.restart() inside a node called **restart**. There is also an example patch to demonstrate use. I’ve successfully tested this on both ESP8266 and ESP32.

Thank you very much, now I have to read the documentation to learn how to use third-party libraries, to use them with XOD, the thing is that I find few videos explaining the process.

You’re welcome!
If you’re familiar with C++, it’s easy to wrap class-based Arduino libraries in XOD. The official guide is here:
[https://xod.io/docs/guide/wrapping-arduino-libraries/](https://xod.io/docs/guide/wrapping-arduino-libraries/)
There is also an unofficial guide in this book:
[https://www.biomaker.org/s/RapidProto-US-FinalDraft\_s.pdf](https://www.biomaker.org/s/RapidProto-US-FinalDraft_s.pdf)
See chapter on “Software Expansion” that starts on page 155.

Thank you very much wayland, my c++ level is basic. I will see the examples in the book, it seems very interesting.
