Does anything wrong in flashing the ESP8266-01?
Posted: Wed Mar 08, 2017 4:25 am
I am trying to flash an ESP8266-01. I connect GPIO0 to GND, and toggle reset to ground and back, to put the ESP01 into flash mode. The blue led on the ESP flashes once, not twice. It used to flash twice, and I could send AT commands via a serial monitor, and it worked well. I connected to my router and got online. All good.
I am using a 5v 1A wallwart to power the ESP via LM1117 3.3v.
After trying to upload a program to the ESP via Arduino IDE, things changed. Now it flashes once, and I get no response to AT commands. No echo at all.
When I put the ESP into flash mode (GPIO0 low), I just get:
When I toggle reset (GPIO0 high), I just get:
I tried the following:
I have Tried changing the baud to 9600, 19200, 57600, 74880, 38400, 115200, and 345600. The lower rates don't include the 'Auto-detected Flash size: 8m' or 'Running Cesanta flasher stub...'
On further testing:
I have rechecked my connection many times.
Does the blue led flashing once only mean anything? Any idea what I've done wrong.
