Initial Installation
Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2016 8:56 pmhi, not sure if this is the right place, but it seems rightest (as im using the arduino ide!)
i have an ESP-01, and a sparkfun FT232R breakout board (supports RTS and DTR) and i have it connected up as per http://www.arduinesp.com/getting-started with 2 npn transistors. i also have 2 aa batteries wired in for the right amperage.
im on a mac, with arduino 1.6.5 installed, and have installed the esp boards, and have it selected to generic esp8266.
now when i upload the simple blink sketch i get;
warning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed
i believe that as i'm on a mac, i should install esptool, or esptool.py (from googling) and have tried to run the install.py (in terminal sudo) but then i get an error saying that it can't find esptool.py...
i feel like i'm missing a minor, but annoyingly needful step.
esptool install
apologies for the long post.
