ESP8266 Community Forum

hello, starting on the Wifi, have done other projects in Arduino etc ,

I have the ESP8266 module (D1 Mini, Jaycar Aust) , I also have some ESP13 Shield , also with AT and Serial issues, I assume are related,


(Background)
I have updated the firmware and that is ok, the device is visible on wifi from Smart phone, and the Router manager is ok, 192.169.4,1 .. so all but there, now firmware is 2.4 ESP_IOT_SDK_v1.4.0

the issue is that when connected to the PC USB port, running the serial monitor,

if I press the RESET button, the output is corrupted, obviously speed, yes, but the only speed that gets an readable is the 74880 Baud, (nothing readable in 9600 or 115200) . or other speeds.

the module is not responding to AT commands,

so as other test, I set up the Arduino Mega , power and RX TX swap, and get the same..


as I cant get AT command response, I dont appear to be able to reset the baud rate via AT command,

I have loaded the ESP Libraries etc ,

in the IDE, if I "get board info" (Have set board type as Generic ESP8266 module , the board info replies with
BN: Unknown board,
VID: 1A86
PID: 7523
SN: upload etc,,,,,


if i try this test below ,, its get error compliling for board ESP8266.



#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>

const char* ssid = "xxxxxxx";
const char* password = "xxxxxxx";

ESP8266WebServer server(80);
