We really spending hours and hours and hours with such a stupid things, it seems that the people behind
this are so stupid, so many bugs that god knows.

Lately we have spent 2 days(!!!) just to discover that on AT version v0.2 , after you upload the bin, and everything works great under baud 115, then you try to set to the new baud rate 9600. also everything works great. but then , then, you reset the chip, and boom !! no serial anymore !!

We have manage to repeat this process 3 times to be sure.

moreover, if you try to flash the chip with a new bin, its a hell. a real hell. too many files, AT version, SDK version, bin files, address, wow !!!!
Some Russian website have this one bin file that worked, but god , its a nightmare !


Well, our company depend on this crapy chip, but i can say to anyone who is even considering this, dont go there !!!!
Endless hours on such things, i had never ever thought i would spend months of my life because of some stupid company!!

Hi!

I think I had the same version, and I'm having many problems to flash it (I'm doing it because I had the same problems you are describing about baudrate). Could you please put a link to the .bin file on the russian forum+ Thanks!!!

Thank you very much. There is a big list there, the only one that worked for me was the bin files inside esp8266-frankenstein-master.zip (antares-0x00000 and antares-0x0a000). If could tell me which one worked for you, I would be even more thankful
