• I recieved a different board ... but its also an ESP8266EX where i get the same issue:
    Flashes OK with different flashers and arguments, but allways spits jibberish before the espruino ASCII art and the green putty input cursor only works sometimes before the first reset.
    after any power out (also button reset) the console is unresponsive.
    Could it be the EX version or maybe something with the serial interface CP2102?

    Anyone got a working EX version?
