I've been spending a lot of hours trying to get my ProMicro 3.3V 5MHz to talk to my ESP8266-01 with little to none success...
My setup is:


And I'm running the code https://github.com/contractorwolf/ESP82 ... SP8266.ino

And the answer I'm recieving is:


And it's driving me crazy...
The blue led on the ESP8266 flashes after the code is uploaded to the Arduino and it returns the gibberish above. I've made sure the voltage is correct and tried other similar code with even worse results. What can I do?

Check the baud rate. On mine it was 115200, but you can also have 9600, 19200 or 57600. If you can't find it, try this tool: https://github.com/719Ben/Baudrate.py
