ESP8266 working in a strange way

Posted on
  • Hello,
    The model of my card is Nodemcu Amica, with CP2102 chipset. I was installing and using my software with Arduino IDE. Now it doesn't run my codes. Strange characters also appear on the serial monitor. AT or Lua commands do not work either. I have installed and tried many firmware to fix this situation. I was only able to run the lua code with the firmware named nodemcu_float_0.9.6-dev_20150704.bin. As far as I understand, there is no hardware problem. But I think the software it came with is damaged. I want to find the firmware that comes with it when it comes from the factory and install it, but I couldn't find the correct one. If you could help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you from now.

  • Strange characters also appear on the serial monitor

    this is caused by incorrectly set baud rate on COM port, installed firmware is using different speed than you set there (9600 in bottom right)

    I think the software it came with is damaged.

    no, not 'damaged', it is no longer there at all, you overwrote it by installing other ones on top of it, and there is probably no point in installing it (and we can hardly guess which one it was)

    If you want to use Arduino I'd start from scratch and follow some tutorial like https://techtutorialsx.com/2016/02/28/es­p8266-uploading-code-from-arduino-ide/

    Also for Arduino issues it is better to ask in some Arduino forum, not here

  • Thank you for your interest. I solved the problem. I changed board settings at Arduino IDE to Nodemcu ESP-12. Then I made upload again and it works now.
