If i try to flash my esp8266 with my compiled code i get this error:

esptool.py v1.2-dev

A fatal error occurred: Digest mismatch: expected DFB07FE0B38F55C01969D22B0BB6685A, got B6F4E923201163536AA358F1E6C8FAB3

Anyone here who has an idea how to fix this? Please help

I'm sure you've found the answer already, but for future readers: when I bumped into this problem I solved it by using shorter wires between my UART and the ESP8266. The problem appears to be caused, as you might expect given the error message, by signal integrity problems.

I can confirm that. I had my cables extended to reach the USB port, but when I shortened them back, the write_flash went successful.
