- Wed May 18, 2016 3:45 am #47591 Actually I cancelled my ESP8266 ideas, something where the first example fails smells like a time-waster ... but beeing too much interested in that stuff I returned

I made a very curious observation: On my old Windows 7 PC the arduino 1.6.5 installation produced the crashing version. Now I tried the same IDE (1.6.5) on my company-laptop and, don`t ask me why, there the example runs perfect ... crashfree the whole day. At home I meanwhile have a new Windows 10 PC, and yesterday, full of expectations, I installed the new arduino 1.6.9 IDE but I had no luck, the HelloServer example crashed again.

The big question is, why does the 1.6.5 Arduino IDE produces a working binary on one PC but fails on another. May be it`s the same reason why it don`t work with 1.6.9 ... I have no idea. Thanks to everybody for helping hints. I will search for the reasons and I will report the results here.

Dear Ehler, did you got some new insights in the meantime ?

friendly regards

Does my problem has something to do with the RF-Environment ?
Tomorow in the company I will test a version which I have created here at home with my Windows 10 PC.
By the way, in the company I`m using an old German Telekom Router, here at home I have a Netgear Accesspoint (same SSID and password, the only thing I touched in the example). I will also test the Telekom Router here at home ...

https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/1826
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/comm ... 4988a22b80

So, it is probably fixed ...

Martin, thank you very much for the hint !
Now I can start to play with the little module ...
