#71748 OK, not new to Arduino but new to the 8266. With a new 8266 I can send AT commands, connect to my WiFi etc..
I loaded a simple program into my 8266 to flash a LED on PIO2, worked like it should have. Programmed through an Arduino and used the Arduino software to program.
Now I need to FLASH the firmware back into the 8266. Seemed simple enough, watched videos and visited many web sites. Downloaded Nodemcu flash utility and it is working.
Finding the BIN file to flash is where I am having difficulity, which file do I need to download?
boot_v1.2.bin, boot_v1.6.bin,user1.2048.new.5.bin????

Am I missing something simple??
