- Tue Mar 29, 2016 9:57 pm #44287 Well, no luck at all.

I have tried;
- 3 different nodeMCU modules, including a brand new unused one
- 2 different computers (both Win10 however)
- the ESP-Basic_Flasher, the nodeMCU flasher, and flash tool 2.4
- 512, 1, 2 and 4M firmwares

I can successfully flash nodeMCU, the original AT firmware, but despite the flasher claiming "success", not ESP8266 Basic.

When I reset the module on the serial line I see a bit of garbage (0‚~?–4û!ƒ[13]{ƒ[04]OAaû), then nothing. The only sensible output I get is with the nodeMCU or AT firmware loaded, and when I use the Basic_Flasher to do a format I see "Formating", then a return code of 1.

In summary, I can successfully flash everything except basic

I would really like to get it working, as I think Basic is the only way I'm going to achieve anything with the ESP, so I'm willing to try any other suggestions anyone might have.

Thanks again,

Ian.
