I created a new VM and started over with your Windows installation directions (https://github.com/jeelabs/esp-link/blo ... WINDOWS.md). I can compile but it complains about git and about curl. Here are the issues:

1. "Install SourceTree and check CLI git or other git distribution to obtain git from CLI" - Can you describe this better? I don't see anywhere in SourceTree to check CLI git or other git distribution.

2. How do I get curl for the wiflash? Do I install it into MinGW somehow? If so, I cant seem to find a package for MinGW.

Thanks

- Tue Jan 05, 2016 12:56 pm #37982 Disregard. I have git and curl now installed and working, although git complains about the diff command being used in the makefile. I found your Windows install guide very helpful but needed a few tweeks. I am updating it on my end for my install records. tve, do you want it when I am done in case you want to update yours or just to see what other steps I had to do to get it all working on Windows?

- Tue Jan 05, 2016 7:39 pm #38013 Yup, I'd appreciate any diffs or pull requests. I don't use windows for building so I can't really retrace the steps, but it will help the next person!

- Thu Jan 07, 2016 6:15 am #38126 Happy new year All,
I have just installed ESP link V2.1.7 onto an ESP12E. The web server seems to work OK but i do not know how to send data to thingspeak using ESP link. I did this successfully using AT commands previously. Can any one give me examples of GET, POST, PUT?

1. I have coolterm connected to the ESP module and when it starts i get a log of it's boot sequence.
2. Cool term is set up to send /n after each command.
3. I use the example given in the esp serial protocol in this link https://gist.github.com/tve/a46c44bf1f6b42bc572e.
4. The ESP module is driven from a 1A 3v3 supply with decoupling close to the module.

What i get back after sending "~@1Tdeveloper.yahooapis.com:80" is nothing in coolterm then after around 3 seconds the ESP module will reboot, it states that the wdt caused the reboot. The reboot occurs even i just just hit return in coolterm without any text being sent. The reboot will not occur if i send no serial data to the module.

I can send text via the ESP-Link console entry and read that from the UART with coolterm but i still cannot connect to the internet. Here is a coolterm log.
