I have ESP8266MOD:



It was interfaced at computer.
1.
I use Don Kinzer esp_tool.exe, a command line program.

The messages that it give are:
Connecting.......connection established.
Erasing 520192bytes.......
...............
Writing block 2 o 508 at 0x000400
Download file "bin.bin" failed (-9)


2.NODEMCU programmer:
Log:
Begin find Esp8266.....
and it remains so for long time

You do know you have to tie the pins like this
GPIO0 -> LOW

GPIO2 -> HIGH

GPIO15 -> LOW
Yes, I did.

I succeeded to put another firmware.
I know this because the blue LED began to operate continuously.

It did not further worked:

I successfully installed iot.apk tablet app.

I put IoT firmware on ESP-12.

There was no connection made between the ESP-12 and tablet.
Tablet sees no 'external' WiFi network.

ESP-12 has GPIO0 ->Hi (V+3.3V) in this monet and and not receives At command.
(It is stand alone)

On my tablet look like the picture attached(not my picture).

write firmware starting with 0x0000 mem addr,

DIO
Crystal Freq. 26MHz (???) (chosen between 40MZ 26MHz 24MHz)

SPI SPEED:40

Flash SIZE 32 Mbit

.I'm a beginner.

Any project of this device is welcome.
Any "Hello world" Program......
Any LED that flashes program....

I do not have Arduino,I have just PIC16F, PIC30F and just PICKIT2.
And of course, USB->Rx,Tx


<<If your esp has LUA on it there is no AT commands.>>
I do not believe to be LUA firmware.
I think hyperterminal not put entire line termination: line feed (LF) and carriage return (CR).

Many projects are on the internet as open source.
Not worked none of those tested.
If you know a project that it work once you post please !!

Would be and programming Micro Python, about that again I do not know

I followed the steps to "Upload sketch".
Since there has never worked.

What we have shown in the first picture is ESp-12 or ESP-12E ?

I seek only for a firmware (first) to 'match' an android application.

I want to make the most simple remote control as a first step.

It don't matter if it's a ESP-12 or ESP-12E .
What matters is are you going to flash with windows or linux.
Are you going to use the Arduino ide or not.
Are you going to use Lua or not.
If you using the arduino ide you have to install needed files using.
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
add the above to your preference as shown in starthere pic.
Then as shown in AddEsp pic add the libraries for ESP stuff.
Then pick your board as the pickB pic shows.
Then load your code and hook the esp to your computer the same way you do a arduino and it programs it.

Thank you very much for your answer.
Please understand that I am just a beginner.

I put this firmware: nodemcu_float_0.9.6-dev_20150704.
Worked writing firmware.

I use Windows because cable USB-> Rx, Tx have only for driver foar Windows.
I have also a version of Ubuntu.\

As it looks in the above images for which thank you,
I did:
- I installed the Arduino IDE (unzipped)
- I installed ESP8266 package
- I selected Tools->Board-> ...(ESP-12)

- When I select compilation last very long
- downloading program to ESP8266 not work without any error ans.
(at me does not work even nodemcu flasher)
- Tools-> Serial monitor -> "AT" , Send with "LF and CR" line end.
-> No answer from ESP8266.
At this time appears the blue window from Windows.

I have Windows XP SP2. Given all the other programs have worked: Proteus 8, MPlab,....

Is there another possibility to compile program and download the ESP8266 with another software?
I have software that can write in ESP8266 starting from any address.

I downloaded that file.

I wrote the 'firmware' as follows:
blank.bin 0x7E000
boot.bin 0x00000
user1.bin 0x01000

Write worked ok.

AT command unresponsive!

-------------------------------------------------
The pin remained:

CH_PD -> HIGH
GPIO2 -> HIGH
GPIO15 -> LOW
RESET-> NC (not connected)

The only difference is:
GPIO0 -> HIGH
The pins are directly connected to power without resistors.
Blue LED lights continuously.
AT command unresponsive!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Another try:

CH_PD -> HIGH
GPIO2 -> NC
GPIO15 -> NC
RESET-> NC (not connected)
GPIO0 -> NC

Blue LED lights now OFF.
AT command unresponsive!
