Ok, there's something wrong with the ESP8266 (could be either the firmware, filesystem, or the uploader). Someone else is having the same issue as you and I've gathered enough data to make a bug report.

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Wi ... issues/404

I'll try to reproduce this issue with the ESP8266 and will follow up both here and on the issue linked above.

I have a couple duplicates of this build around from the same order, I'll try it with one of those to see if the issue is consistent

Could you also try going into your Windows device manager and following the steps illustrated here to use an older version of the CP210x driver: https://github.com/espressif/esptool-js ... 1445188241

I have a Mac, so I'd need to do that another way.
Since this issue started I have a new laptop with a fresh system install, so I'll try again and see if anything has changed.

Hi, we were able to reproduce this error and found the bug. I just updated the uploader to use the correct file system size and have tested the fix locally on my Feather ESP8266.

This bug should be gone.

Please let me know on this thread if you are still experiencing the same problem.
