file.remove('config.lc') does not help.

Re-Flashing the .bin file also does not help.

what ever I do , it just logs on to the Router.

Code: Select allesptool.py --port <serial-port-of-ESP8266> erase_flash

No , does not work

Like this:

Code: Select all wifi.sta.config("xxxxxxxx","xxxxxxxx"

Beter like this:

Code: Select allwifi.sta.config(string.char(0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff),string.char(0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff,0xff))

Clear all flash memory?
Or not?
