Huzzah ESP8266 'offline'

Post by dmoshal »

Hi, having a problem with the Huzzah ESP8266 reporting 'offline'

1) Installed the FTDI driver PL2303 from this page:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/954

2) Connected using Coolterm
3) Pushed reset

Now the Huzzah is responding, but sends the message 'offline' every second
(even though it dose still respond to commands).

Was thinking of re-flashing the Huzzah, but can't find a pointer to the binary.
Any ideas?
Thanks

thats odd that it prints 'offline' it should be running the Lua interpreter
you can reinstall the Lua interpretter here
https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher

(just hold down GPIO0 and then click reset to put it into bootloader mode first)

if you're planning on using the Arduino IDE, you can just go ahead and do that, it will overwrite the Lua interpreter anyhow

Thanks the problem resolved after I: 1) put the board into bootloading state, by holding down the right button while plugging in, and 2) then resetting, but holding the left button (reset) for a couple of seconds.
