I'm a newbie and recently purchased this board:

https://www.amazon.com/Haiworld-Interne ... ard+Module

I then used the NodeMCU flasher with the 0.9.6 firmware found here: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/releases

The problem is when I click flash, things appear to stall at "Note: Begin Find ESP8266". I've changed ports, baudrates, clicked both the flash and reset buttons on the board but I'm not sure what to try next.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

• Build a recent version, ideally from the dev branch: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/#releases
• Use esptool.py to flash it: http://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/latest ... #esptoolpy

Thanks again!
