Well I tried working this out but now even more issues, previously I have been able to power all of my ESP01 projects with either a 5v adapter through a 3.3 AMS1117 or a 12v adapter through an AMS1117. <...>

It is regrettable you are having so many problems, but your attempts to cure the issues need to be more controlled and less "shotgun." That is, set your IDE correctly.

Find a nice, stable 5V - 6V power source to feed your ESP8266... your 12V adapter is at the upper end of the input voltage, a lower voltage power adapter wastes less energy and allows the -1117 to work cooler. In my lab, I use 5V to power my ESP8266 units that have on-board 3.3V regulators.

I know you are frustrated, but problem resolution must be done in a step-by-step fashion - methodically.

- Sun Aug 07, 2016 9:58 am #52409 I have got code from Adam and (after some modification) run this code on my two spare ESP-12. One was Wemos D1 mini and second was Lolin NodeMcu V3. There was no error in SPIFFS or any kind of crash. Problem with HTTPS Update probably is in ESP8266HTTPClient class - I'm currently digging deep into this...

- Sun Aug 07, 2016 11:40 am #52419 I know what is causing it in my case, the crashing only happens when I change the flash size to 4m, if i change it back it does not happen but the HTTP Update issues is still there. Got a little bit stressed last night when I wrote this, funny though I have not slept since yesterday, in 10 hours I mastered Polynomial Regression, Normal Equation, Normal Equation Noninvertibility, Octave programming language, got 80% on the Linear Regression With Multiple Variables and the Octave assignments and smashed my first programming assignment with 100%for Stanford University Machine Learning course but cannot get an ESP12f to work lol.

And thanks for the help mate appreciate it.

I have taken all of these steps the issue is not resolved.
