| * Plugin Adapter (without ESP connected) to USB and check in Windows with Hardware manager that the added COM port ist working. And verify the COM"XX" in use. You may use Putty to test the COM port with RXD and TXD connected toggelter. This will give you an echo on the Terminal all you type comes back to the display. | * Plugin Adapter (without ESP connected) to USB and check in Windows with Hardware manager that the added COM port ist working.

The blue LED is on internal PIN 2 not on PIN 1. There seams to be some confusion on Port numbering. On the board is written TXD0 for this pin. Alternativ one can install the latest Master version from Git as explained here: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino) |
