Hey all, after another hiatus I've made it back to the trials and tribulations of the 8266. I will say at this point I have been successful in flashing several versions of the 8266; ESP 7's & 12's specifically. I can't tell you how. I use the same set up as always, even after receiving several CH340 based usb converters instead of the FTDI, but in the end either worked. The only difference was that I used M/F dupont jumpers instead of the breadboards that were suspect in the past. If any one can put up with another basic question on the subject,my confusion continues, and I know you all are way ahead of me, but if you can just point me to a place where I can gleen basic knowledge I'd be so grateful. As I mentioned before I had successfully flashed an Esp07 a while back. I used that for experimenting while fighting the flashing issues on the others. To my recollection, I could (using Esplorer) upload an Init.lua file to run at startup and reset. So I chose the blink example to start. Great, blink works. ..BUT, once blink is loaded as init, I can no longer communicate via Esplorer. Queries, and commands simply time out.
Question is, is this normal behavior? If so how does one get out of this endless loop? Thanks for patience for an old hacker.
