I have hooked up my esp-01 to my computer and can communicate with it but there is a problem: The serial connection is lost when I send AT+RST or AT+CWLAP (not necessarily the only ones). It looks like this:
AT+GMR

AITHINKER-20141206
OK
AT+RST
OK

After this there is no reaction . If I close and reopen the com, it works again. It looks the same for AT+CWLAP:
AT+GMR
0020000903

OK
AT+CWLAP
//list of APs here
OK

I can use commands like AT+GMR or AT+CWJAP with no problems but it always fails after AT+RST and AT+CWLAP.
The thing is, that it works fine with my esp-07 unit so I was wondering what could cause these problems. Could it be a firmware problem or is it my serial connection?
thanks!
edit: Update: Switched to an external power supply which solved the problem of the connection loss after reset. Now the above looks like
//do stuff here
ZËAý1j§£Ç3ωRˆ$#}‚Æ’ÂHä®–Ÿready
and it's responding to AT commands. However, it still resets after several commands like AT+CWLAP , AT+CIPSEND and AT+CIUPDATE (after +CIUPDATE:4)
