I got a handful of NodeMCU 0.9 boards from ebay and I'm trying to get them going.
Using a raspberry pi and esptool, I'm able to load the espEasy firmware and a custom build from nodemcu-build.com but I can't seem to get anything meaningful to happen.
for espEasy, I can't get a good serial connection using minicom on the pi - getting garbage at 9600 and 5760, and nothing at 115200. I see the access point, but no device can connect to it and access the web server at 192.168.4.1. The AP does not have the ESP_0 name shown in the docs, having other characters appended.
for the custom build, I can get a serial connection and can start the
enduser_setup.start()
command, but once it is on my wifi, I can't seem to further configure it. I will do some network scanning/testing, but was hoping someone could help connect the dots for me.
Cheers,
J
