Hi... in my test I found I had to run minicom with sudo to get access to the serial port. There is a ways to enable it for all users so that sudo is not needed but I have not researched it yet. That might be the issue. HTH Joe ahh I found the info here... https://forum.micropython.org/viewtopic.php?...

That is correct. You should not have to press anything. Only, if the terminal is unresponsive do I try the RESET button. If that doesn't work I unplug/plug.

Sorry I couldn't help.

I really would try Lua or Arduino to see if the hardware is having issues.

Good luck!

BTW... I usually unplug and re-plug the device (hard reset) before testing with putty. Here is what I connect with by default...

I probably should have said "incompatible" firmware. The images on the MicroPython site are fine. That's what I used when I just tested it. I do not own an Adafruit Huzzah, so unfortunately I cannot help on that front. But I am certain that MicroPython supports it... https://docs.micropython.org/en/...

I see you ran it with the -fm dio, do you get the same result without those parameters?

Honestly, it looks like a bad firmware image. What kind of board ESP8266 board do you have?

First of all you only need to run ONE of those commands... not both. I suspect the flash mode may be the issue. Just run the first command alone and retry with putty.

Sorry to hear you are having troubles mate... The following advice might not help, since I essentially use the same hardware every time... But just to make sure we didn't miss anything basic... 1. Are you erasing the flash first? I always do. esptool.py -p COM19 -c esp8266 -b 460800 erase_flash 2. A...

For anyone who might be interested, I have written an application that could be used as an IDE of sorts... rp2-repl.jpg It only works in Windows currently and really only requires that Python 3 is installed... however if you run into issues running the pyboard.py script (missing dependencies), you c...

Apologies to anyone who tried the application with the Raspberry Pi Pico... my internal REPL did not work properly.

I have fixed this and re-arranged the UI a bit...
