#68433 I cannot tie into the ESP-01 through Arduino IDE Serial Monitor nor Putty.

I've tried every baud available in Arduino with NL and CR, as well as quite a few in Putty. Using 78800 Baud rate, and depending on which sketch I have loaded, I can sometimes get:

ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,6)

load 0x4010f000, len 1384, room 16
tail 8
chksum 0x2d
csum 0x2d
v09f0c112
~ld

and then I get some gibberish, but the AT command does nothing.

I've tried 5 different modules, including a Adafruit Huzzah. I've tried 3 different power supplies.

Communication is fine uploading sketches and running all sorts of different programs, but if u wanna check my Wiring:

1000uF Cap to VCC and GND, polarity is correctly connected
VCC to 3.3V power rail on my breadboard
GND to Ground rail
CHPD to VCC
GPIO-0 Floating
GPIO-2 Floating
RX to FTDI TX
TX to FTDI RX

FTDI is set to 3.3V, but I'm only using common ground to my breadboard.

I think that just about covers everything I can google search.....except 1 thing. What it is I do not know... Is there a specific sketch I need to load prior to doing this that is obvious but I am overlooking?
