#61125 I thought I'd try the ESP8266 with AT Commands. I read the ESP8266 with AT Commands – Flashing/Updating the Firmware (step by step) but is is not so complicated on the NodeMcu V3 Development Module. I went to ESP8266 AT-Command firmware and downloaded the latest file: Official ESP V2 Firmware. I flashed it as in this previous post using ESPlorer to test.

I opened the com port and baud rate found by NodeMCU Flasher (Com 5, 115200 Baud) and got the following:

Code: Select allCommunication with MCU..Got answer! Communication with MCU established.
AutoDetect firmware...

AT-based firmware detected.
AT+GMR

AT version:1.3.0.0(Jul 14 2016 18:54:01)
SDK version:2.0.0(656edbf)
compile time:Jul 19 2016 18:44:44
OK

Easy. Now I realise that I could not get the module to respond when I first tried because the old tutorials I found specified a 9600 baud connection that has long since been replaced with 115200.

I tried a few AT commands but I think I'll be moving onto another development platform.
