- Thu Dec 17, 2015 10:52 am #36656 I'm kinda lost...

I tried different firmwares and terminals: putty, esplorer, lualoader, termite.

In neither of these programs I get AT response, what could be wrong here ?

I am using the following setup on windows:



For example in termite:



Thanks

- Thu Dec 17, 2015 12:50 pm #36667 You are trying to execute AT commands into a NodeMCU Lua shell ?
Those are two different firmwares ...
You can NOT have AT firmware and NodeMCU firmware at the same time, you can only have one firmware at a time.

Yes that is what I have found out too in the meantime.

Different versions of the ESP8266 firmware communicate at different baud rates and have subtly different commands - make sure you use the ESP8266 module that corresponds to the ESP8266 firmware version that you have.

So there seem to be many options in firmware, baudrates, commands.

I'll stick to NodeMCU for now. I have used: http://nodemcu-build.com/
To build firmware:




I flashed the firmware using ESP8266Flasher.

Now I started up LuaLoader V0.87:

- First had to click the "Survey" button a few times but got all available access point, including mine
- Then clicked "Set AP", SSID and password are correct and double checked
- Then clicked "Get IP"
- Clicking the "Check Wifi Status" button several after waiting for seconds, minutes :
> = wifi.sta.status()
1 CONNECTING

After about 30 min:
> = wifi.sta.status()
3 AP NOT FOUND



What could be the problem here ?

Should I use any additional commands based on my router settings ? Like channel, security and encryption ?





Thanks.
