ESP8266 Community Forum

i have ESP8266-01 and first i flashed it with Node MCU firmware
then i wanted to try uploading example using Arduino IDE 1.6.8 > ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload
i tried the blink example and it was uploaded successfully but not working , then i tried another example and its the same
after that i tried to upload something using LUA loader but it's not responding to any command even Format or Restart
i have not idea what happend or what to do , any suggestions ?

well i flashed it again with NodeMCU and it's working again using the lua loader , my ESP is connected to Arduino Uno , because i don't have the FTDI .
but now i have another problem , i'm trying to build a Client/Server code but it's not working , can the ESP act as both client and server ?? does it need some kind of Sync if i want 2 ESPs to communicate wireless ? ( i intend to use UDP )
