I tried to connect to the ESP8266 module using putty, but it did not work it.

I changed the baud rate and tried with the implicity CR and LF and it still did not work.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks.

I used termite.

The other thing that I did was connect a power supply to the circuit.

Problem solved.

Thanks.

I found at 9600 I got nothing. At 11520 I started getting junk characters. Finally I looked it up and realized it was supposed to be 115200 and I started getting recognizable characters. The CRLF option just allows the commands I type to appear on separate lines.

The firmware that came on my ESP8266-01 doesn't seem to respond to AT commands but at least it echoes it.

At one point in fumbling with the board I accidentally reset it and got some sort of message about flash, checksums and the amount of memory available. Only got it once. Best I can figure is I accidentally powered GPI0 and it thought I was trying to flash it.

I haven't powered it up again because I am looking/waiting for the parts to make a stable breadboard adapter. All these same color wires running everywhere is not a good idea with a board that picks up stray voltages from your fingers.
