ESP8266 Community Forum

Hi everyone, supernoob here!

Is it normal that it takes 30 seconds to upload a simple sketch (blink)? I'm using NodeMCU ESP-12e and Deviot in Sublime as my IDE.

Or are there any settings/optimizations I can do to make it faster? I think I read somewhere that you can disable verification of code after upload, but I can't find a setting like that in Deviot.

Thanks!

Your "simple" sketch also contains a lot of compiled overhead to bridge it to the ESP8266. If you look, it is unlikely to be anything less than 200k in size. So, yes, 30 seconds sounds like a good fast speed for an upload.

Have you tried increasing the upload speed? 921600 works for me. The default was 115200.

Wow. I didn't think this would work on my machine.
