-> it appears garbage on the serial port all the time (I guess one boot sequence after the other). But to flash the firmware works with out any problem
I have this with my ESP-07 and ESP-01 board (to connect GPIO16 and RST on the ESP-01 I use TIM's HW-Hack: http://tim.jagenberg.info/2015/01/18/low-power-esp8266/ )
I operate directly with a FDTI (Focca Board) from the Computer and flash the program to my ESP with The Arduino IDE (1.6.4)
I also tried to Pull up the RST with a 10k but it doesn't help - What do I wrong??????
