AP not showing

Post by Del » Sat Jun 03, 2017 10:47 am

Hi,

I have an ESP8266 from Seedstuido which I flashed with esptool and all seems fine but the AP is not showing up afterwards. The blue led on esp is flickering though, I'm assuming this is indicative of wifi being operational.

So besides for creating a RS232 connection via UART0 (still to build cable for it) how else would I verify / connect to the device?

Thanks,

Output from flashing stage as follows,

Resolved the issue, had to perform full erase before and then were able to get Python prompt via USB to serial interface.
