#13349 Hello,

I have the same problem here:
The ESP-01 worked all fine, but lost connection once in a while. To ensure supply voltage stability I connected a capicitator into the circuit, since this chance I only get the blue led blink once after powerup, the serial output shows the cryptic bootloader message but does not respond further, the code on the ESP is not executed.
Despite this "freeze" I can successfully upload new code from the (by the way very neat!) modified arduino IDE. At least I can enter the programming mode when GPIO_0 is pulled to GND (Led on GPIO_2 is set HIGH then) and get an "upload successful" respond of the IDE.

I do understand the explanations for the freeze in this post, but I need a bit help to recover the modules. Guess I am one of the many users that enter the ESP8266-playground, with knowledge about the arduino-IDE, but little more...

Can you tell me how I get the blank.bin into the right place (0x7E000) on a windows pc?

Thnx!
