- Fri May 29, 2015 6:31 am #18845 I grabbed the firmware and the flasher from github. Maybe I'll try an older version of the firmware.

EDIT: Just noticed the "Downloads" link in the README on the github page (nodemcu-firmware/pre-build). The build from the "latest" directory there must not be up to date. It looks like it's an old v0.9.5. I just flashed nodemcu_float_0.9.6-dev_20150406.bin and had no issue. Thanks

- Mon Jan 02, 2017 2:51 am #60264 I have the same problem too.
Behind the chipset, it is mentioned to work over Baud rate of 9600. But it doesn't. Nor does it over any other baud rates.

Flashed firmware and init_data by referencing this website: https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master/en/flash/

Anyways, it says:
ERROR in flash_read: r=1 at 4061A000


Do revert at earnest.
