Python files [...] require you to use the command line interpreter or a DOS window. This is really ‘stone age’

Then why don't you use nodemcu-flasher?

You should get a set of massages

Aaaah, okay... ;)

- Sun Jan 18, 2015 4:33 pm #7645 I like the idea of getting a set of massages too!

Perhaps I should try issuing a

Code: Select allAT+HAPPY_END

and wait for something to come forth?

Seriously, anyone who sold you on the idea that working with ESP8266 is as easy as arduino should hang their head. It is a significant step up in difficulty, but it is 1/10 of the price and about 10x the functionality. If you are struggling with using the command line or installing stuff from github then you should probably expect to have a steep learning experience!!

But it is good that you documented your experience - it will probably help others - so thank you for that - this is why we are all here after all, to learn and to share our learning. I have attached a copy of your document in rtf format so that it is more accessible for people without Word installed.

you are The HERO! Thank you very much for your write-up! I think it should be on the title page... somewhere. It would be absolutely invaluable for the noobs, such myself.
Also, thanks for the Russian software - it is extremely handy. I was using the serial monitor by ElectroDragon before and could not get any response from the module. It turned out that I was not using the "end of the line" character. The monitor you recommend has it as default and I am communicating to ESP! Moreover, it connected to my router.
Arduino is next.
