#3103 ::edit::
corrected pinout in the photograph

==update ==

hi, we bought a few units of the ESP-11 module for our hackerspace
Image

we used ESP-01 with success, but this one is hard to find info on.

usually the pinout attached to this module (even in that chinese PDF) is misleading.
i found the following pinout on the fypshop site
and that is the only one i could find...

Image.

better connection using a "SO-16 1.27mm" breakout board

current status
based on above pinout
*connected to a FTDI breakout set to 3V3 on VCC
*CH_EN pulled to 3V3/VDD.
* baud rate at 9600

Leaving...

reset module and connect with 9600 baud rate


i had a problem of bad connection on the RX pin, this 2mm headers are a pain. img
i deleted later posts with my rambling, mirror info on our hackerspace wiki

#3106 Did you tried with all pins pulled-up to VCC (like some people suggested in the case of ESP-01) ?
Also, maybe there is no AT example in it, so, have you tried uploading firmware while GPIO pulled-down to GND ?
