Dead board or am I not doing something?
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2016 10:31 amHi,
First time post. I bought a esp8266 off of amazon. Specifically, HiLetgo New Version NodeMCU LUA WiFi Internet ESP8266 Development Board. Link: http://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Version-N ... ge_o00_s00
When I plug it into my windows 7 machine via a micro-usb cord, the blue led flashes twice but that is it. It is not showing up in device manager for me to apply a driver to. I tried re-scanning for hardware changes but no luck. I also tried it on my windows 8 desktop and it did not show up there.
Is there another step I should be doing? I'm ordering another usb cord to see if that could be the problem. Any other thoughts?
Thanks!
