Can't flash ESPEasy
Posted: 13 Jul 2018, 12:53
Hi,
I'm trying to flash ESPEasy to a brand new WeMos D1 mini, using ESP.Easy.Flasher, according to the instructions on viewtopic.php?t=3934.
When I press the Reset button on the WeMos, the blue LED flashes once. I suppose this at least means that power is getting through.
When in ESP Easy Flasher I select the following:
and click Flash ESP Easy FW, I get the following in the log file:

Pressing Reset and trying again does not help.
What is going wrong here? Why can't it open the COM port? What do I have to do to fix this, or to investigate the problem further? Can I try the serial connection using Teraterm (or a similar terminal emulator)? If so, what serial parameters do I need to use, and what commands should the WeMos recognise and respond to?
Many thanks - Rowan
