@knchris:
Have you tried ap_open (not sure if that's the correct option)?
In the worst case you'll have to reset to default settings and re-enter everything.
@martin_g:
I'm having a little problem connecting over a serial console.
When I connect and reset the ESP, I'm getting all the correct info displayed.
But to get a command-prompt (so I can enter and execute commands), I need to reset the flow-control.
Maybe it's just a problem with the used board (a Witty Cloud board), so I'll try it using other boards as well.
I'm not yet able to compile the sources on Windows myself (yet), so I'm using the current binaries on GitHub.
I thought I'll mention it here, since it cost me a couple of hours to figure that out (and might help others).
Anyway: great project which is working perfectly; thanks for that!
