#14238 this took me forever to figure out, theres no straight forward instruction on how to hookup the esp-03
I finally figured it out
i got an pl2303 cable hooked up vcc/ground/tx/rx
gpio15 to ground
ch_pd connected to vcc

then used the wifi webserver example and it finally worked :lol:
im on win7 x64 ... had to switch from a win8.1 machine because the pl2303 drivers dont work on it :roll:

#14420 well i can get it to work right after I upload from IDE, but if i pull the pl2303 from my usb port then plug it back in, i cant get it to go to normal / stand alone mode. any other pins I need to mess with to get it to work with just power/ground
