Just got the esp8266, loaded BASIC on it. Very cool. Not to be lazy, but there are links all over on this esp8266. And it took hours before I got it working with mis-info.

Three questions.

How do I flash back to the original? Probably can google firmware update and short out the GPIO with some other flasher/loader. But anyone have a link?

How can I make a static IP on the BASIC firmware version. I like the BASIC, but would like to use static IPs on it. Do I set it via AT commands then load the BASIC?

Last, I thought I saw a reference to sourceforge. Is espbasic open source?

ESP basic is open source and can be found on git hub.

Information about establishing a static IP is here.

I have never used the stock firmware and don't know where too download a good version of it so can't help with that.

Basic has an MIT liscense more or less if you are going to sell or distribute it you must include mikes disclaimer that he is not responsible etc etc...

You could also read my signature while it does not totally apply to the esp8266 the code is relevant you just need to substitute the nodemcu board number for the pin number and viola give it a look as well as esp8266basic.com you'll find a ton of info to get you started I can almost assure you you won't find a better project once you get the hang of things and figure it all out.

Take care and welcome aboard.
