- Sun May 24, 2015 5:56 pm #18353 Hello I have bought some esp-12
but I have a big problem...
when I try to send some at command the blue light turn on for 1/2 sec and after turn off. But nothing appear on the terminal.
I Have tried 3 of them but nothing...
I have used also an external power source but nothing. I have tried to flash new firmware but nothing.. I can't connect to the esp-12. I have googled a lot (I have already read a lot of page of the forum) but nothing.
SOme idea?
thx
