I want to start by saying I'm a complete noob at esp stuff. I bought one on ebay as a learning experience, to try and learn more. However when i finally got it soldered to an adaptor and hooked up to my adrino (using it as a usb - serial converter) I keep getting this:

Other posts talk about flashing a new firmware to the esp (it's an esp-12) but I'm still new to this - I just wanted to learn how to use the command interface to start. I also don't have a proper flashing tool, all I have is an arduino, a TTL 3v-5v level converter, a raspberry pi, and the esp-12 module. Is it possible to flash it with my arduino? Can you flash it over serial?
