- Thu Nov 13, 2014 6:26 am #2543 Not QUITE as you might expect... I followed the loading instructions, put the directories into the root of C: drive, ensured the PATH was ok, I already loaded up Python a few days ago.

This is what happened when I tried the make file

C:\esp_iot_sdk_v0.9.1\examples\at>make

- Thu Nov 13, 2014 7:44 am #2547 It is not referring to esptool.py (python one you loaded), it's mamalala's esptool used to generate binaries: http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=304

for programming connect:

CH_PD to VCC
GPIO00 to GND
GPIO15 to GND

for normal operation connect:

CH_PD to VCC
GPIO15 to GND

I've finally got it working : in fact, the cause was bad soldering on RX ...

- Thu Nov 13, 2014 11:57 am #2556 I added that esptool as advised above - doesn't see it no matter where I put it - the make file says no. Ideas?
