ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi Guys,

in beginning: before I decide create this topic, I already read lot of tutorials and threads, how to connect ESP8266, but nothing helpes.

This is my setup:

FTDI 3.3V
ESP module is soldered to breakboard, all connections are working and tested
FTDI.VCC is connected to VCC, CH_PD
FTDI.GND is connected to GPIO15 and GND
FTDI.TX is connected to TX
FTDI.RX is connected to RX
other pins are not connected.

After FTDI was connected to my PC, baud rate was set to 9600 but ESP was not responding. Then I read about troubles with enter character but using Enter + Ctrl-J don't helps (AT command was set but not response received). I tried several baud rates recommended on internet but without luck. Do you guys have some advice what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Guys,

I have one update. It seems, ESP is not death, because when I power up the device, I can detect WIFI signal (it behaves as access point with gateway 192.168.4.1).

Have you tried switching RX and TX? Some modules might be improperly labeled.

I switch them and at baud rate 115200 command AT\r\n produces \0 as response. Any clue?
