I am using putty for win7
com4/9600/n81/none
But nothing on power up or sending AT command
I first tested serial cable by coupling i/o together
tried swapping rx/tx
nothing.
HELP!
Thanks,
Ray

GPIO0 & ground
Board is lighting up and the one led gets dimmer when I remove the jumper.
I assume the board had some program it is running.
