I've installed python and esptool.py. I've used this to flash ESP8266 boards for microPython and that works fine.

From putty I am trying to connect to the board directly with 115200 baud and then I power cycle it and try again. After that I attempt the Espruino Web IDE with 115200 baud.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
I use the CH340 USB to serial driver (COM5:)

I have also tried this esptool.py line:
which flashes the board, also tried this one:
but that one says: Detected overlap at address: 0x7c000 for file ...
I have tried these versions, in order, with both working esptool.py lines above:
1) https://www.espruino.com/binaries/espruino_1v99_esp8266_4mb/
2) https://www.espruino.com/binaries/espruino_1v99_esp8266/

4) https://www.espruino.com/binaries/espruino_1v95_esp8266_4mb/
Still no console in putty or the Web IDE
