ESP8266 firmware update using espruino pico

Hi Ben,

Does testing the firmware version work with the ESP8266 as it is normally? If it doesn't, it may be some wiring problem.

When I do it like I understand a blue LED on the ESP8622 flashes shortly while releasing the wire from RST. Is this correct?

Yes.

• When done right, the blue LED should blink quickly
  
• When not done right, the blue LED will either not blink, or will blink twice (for longer).
  
  

When pasting the code to Espruino, did you press 'enter' after pasting the code in? The last command will need to be executed as well, and it may not be if it is just pasted in.
