- Tue Mar 31, 2015 1:24 pm #13127 When trying an example program I get
warning: espcomm cmd: wrong direction/command: 0x00 0x08, expected 0x01 0x08

nine times then

warning: espcomm_sync failed

then hang on Uploading...

Any suggestions?

- Tue Mar 31, 2015 8:55 pm #13153 Maybe it's trying to upload using the Arduino drivers? Have you checked the Board type and the programmer type?

- Wed Apr 01, 2015 1:58 am #13164 Esptool doesnt seem to be as reliable as I thought. Most of the time if you get errors like this you can get around them by power cycling the board and trying to upload a few times.

Patches to esptool are welcome by the way.
