Not sure why it said AT wasn't found - but from the screenshot it looks like it works intermittently? The line null [] implies that all the software is loaded up.

As @DrAzzy says it could be something with your internet connection - maybe the Web IDE couldn't load the AT module off the website sometimes?

Thanks for trying the version. When you add the strings up you'd yet:
```
AT version:0.21.0.0
SDK version:0.9.5
```
So it's not the version of the ESP8266 firmware that Espruino's driver was designed for - the one it was made for is 0018000902-AI03. It explains why it won't be working for you. It's frustrating that EspressIF seem to tweak the protocol every version - even tweaking the way the version is reported!

So I guess you have two options - either you plug the ESP8266 into a USB-TTL converter and then update its firmware to the one Espruino is expecting (just google how to update it), or we can try and figure out what's not working and update the ESP8266 driver to work with it - you might not want to do that though?
