Try just switching things off/on and unplugging/plugging your FTDI adapter?

I've some ESP-201s and they work fine, it can be useful to have an extenral antenna. Otherwise the NodeMCU board is convenient as its got the built-in USB so i often use that for playing about working things out and then move to use ESP-12's on these breakout boards as a cheap way deploy something.

OMG - ESP-12's for under £2 each, better get a few of those. Before you know it there'll be little packets from China waiting for you every time you come home...
