ESP_Basic_Flasher - unable to see 512K option

By kolban
- Thu Oct 15, 2015 11:34 pm #31476 I downloaded the ESP_Basic_Flasher app from here:

http://www.esp8266basic.com/download.html

When I run it, I can select the "Comm" port but am unable to see "512K" in the Flash size pull down. Since my ESP8266s are 512K ... I am not sure what to do next.

See attached screen shot:

Might have to debug some thing or a diferent build of the package. The current build includeds a lot of code that could be redone to be better.

and by the way thanks for finally releasing a firmware in basic, it seems too many people are quick to scoff at basic (fanboys) and dont seem to see its actually a very capable language, i have already seen people on some of my forums glad that someone finally did this for these modules.

so if the 512k is not supported can i still use the 1m option or maybe break out my smd soldering stuff and upgrade the flash? i hope their are suitable alternatives i can swap it out for ( dont worry i solely make smd circuits barely bigger than this lol).

I am still looking at ways to reduce binary size.
