Hi guys,
just starting out on the ESP8266 platform so forgive my ignorance on what might be obvious...
After being able to successfully compile and upload the blink sketch on a WeMos R1 D1 I'm now getting error messages for any sketch.
Now getting the message "esptool.FatalError: Invalid head of packet (0x46)"
Scanning through the log, what caught my attention is the message about the crystal frequency...
WARNING: Detected crystal freq 20.39MHz is quite different to normalized freq 26MHz. Unsupported crystal in use?
Crystal is 26MHz
Could this be a hardware issue?
Interestingly the monitor seems to work looking at the COM port and when I press Reset on the board the boars seems to respond without any errors. I can connect to the http server from my mobile
Monitor out attached
