Hi, I bought an ESP8266-12 from China and it finally arrived after a month.
So I'm trying to test it to see if it's working but I'm having trouble doing that.
This version has the AA battery holder included.
I have a video that shows what I've done so far.
Basically, I tried hooking it up to the arduino 3.3v, GND, TX, and RX. But it's not responding to "AT" and yet those mysterious characters somtimes pop up.
I tried uploading nodemcu but my usb-serial converted blinks and nothing happens. The software is still on waiting for mac.
I'm still new to a lot of this stuff so it could be that I miswired something.
