#78995 Hello there,
I am new to the ESP8266 ecosystem. I have hooked up a fast testing setup with an ESP-07s and an FT232 usb to uart bridge. I provided enough 3V3 power supply current. When I connected the device and check the uart log, I see garbage. Thanks to this post ( viewtopic.php?t=2298 ), I was finally able to figure out what is the baud parameters for that garbage and see the output (more or less):

Interesting this is that right after this is printed out, the baud changes to 115200 (probably 8N1 no parity). The problem is that the device returns echo (so I see what I type) instead receiving an answer to my at commands. In the topic I linked, the author says that his device turned to 9600 baud after the garbage was spit (mines at 115200). I tried grounding GPIO15 but that did not help. The starting log says that I am in boot mode "(3,0)"- is that correct? I have only connected the power, uart lines and pulled up the EN line in my module. Should I provide more pull-ups or downs?

I would appreciate all help regarding this topic.

#78997 Reset should also have a pull-up with the ESP-07, but that probably is not your problem. When you say you provide sufficient 3.3V power. What do you mean? Can you describe the power supply and how it is connected.

#79000 Are your connections/wires from the LDO to the ESP short? I have seen people use breadboards and 20cm jumper wires connecting to a good power supply, and it not working because of that. LDO should be close and with some decent capacitance.
