I will try this other files and i'll give you a feedback.
Thank You!

- Mon Nov 30, 2015 2:17 am #35329 I just had a thought, I don't know if it was mentioned. AI-Thinker's module may come with a greater flash capacity so maybe there might be some other adjustments. Beginning with the firmware bin files, some are pulled from a 512K+512K source, but it may need to be pulled from the 1024K+1024K. Also, with the more detailed flasher, the Mbit may need to be played with, although I thought I read it should just be at 8Mbit, but changing it may not make it any more worse, but that's also a guess.

I would think changing to one of the larger files and adjusting the flash addresses accordingly makes sense if the chip's flash memory is indeed greater. The smaller 512K version may be writing to an address sooner than it should, in this case where the directions for changing AP/Station, listing AP's, connecting to WiFi, etc. It may recognize the command stored in some other location, but it can' execute it. Of course, this is just speculation.

I haven't as much as powered mine up because I wanted to find what I could on it first. It's one of the ones that says "AI Cloud Insid8" on it.

I am also sailing in this same boat. General_Failure you are correct. Here is the output from my ESP01 Black colored with Berg Micro 25Q80ASSIG chip and here is some more info that is available through my arduino serial

My ESP01 is not responding very well. i have a separate power supply 3.3v (LM2596) and i am using Arduino uno with a voltage divider on tx for 3.3v . Baud rate is 74880 and all i get is a loop with errors

epc1=0x40202a60, epc2=0x00000000, epc3=0x00000000, excvaddr=0x40000000, depc=0x00000000
Fatal exception (3):

i have tested power supply for 3.3v and 700ma which is sufficient i guess. i don't have a cp2102 or a FT232RL USB to SERIAL converter so i am using arduino.

i have ordered a cp2102 and will flash this ESP01 if this module is not dead.
