Let's Control It

Hi,

I've been trying for 2 days now to get the mega firmware running on my Sonoff Basic and feel like I'm missing something very obvious, but can't figure out what it is.

I've tried so far, which don't work:
ESP_Easy_mega-20180927_normal_ESP8266_1024.bin
ESP_Easy_mega-20180723_normal_ESP8266_1024.bin
ESP_Easy_mega-20180923_normal_ESP8266_1024.bin
ESP_Easy_mega-20180924_normal_ESP8266_1024.bin

These do work (old non-mega fw):
ESPEasy_R120_1024.bin
ESPEasy_R148_1024.bin
ESP_Easy_v2.0-20180316_normal_ESP8266_1024_DOUT.bin
ESP_Easy_v2.0-20180322_normal_ESP8266_1024_DOUT.bin

I've tried multiple flash methods;
FlashESP8266.exe
ESP8266Flasher.exe

I've tried erasing, flashing the blank bin in advance. Using the "minimal" version: ESPEasyUploaderMega_1024.bin

Nothing works and it drives me crazy

Oh yeah, by not working I mean there's no ESP_0 AP coming up. With the old R releases and the v2.0 ones everything works in one simple try.

Any ideas?

Have you tried my flasher? Link in signature below.

And make sure you have the button pressed for 1-2 seconds after you hit the flash button. Just to make sure the ESP is in flash mode.

Thanks for your reply.

I've used your tool (looks nice btw, except for the font but that's due to W10 I see), like the option of setting the wifi details in there.

Everything seems to go okay, but it won't connect. 100% positive my wifi details are correct.

Any ideas?

Here's the log:

Hi
Check your Basic PCB
if you got ESP8266EX (bottom layer) + PUYA Chip (top layer).

so you should flash "ESP_Easy_mega-xxxxxxxx_dev_ESP8266PUYA_1024_VCC.bin"
for sure flash "blank_1MB.bin" then the release you want

only _VCC works for me but it seems to works perfectly.

Hoorah, working straight up, 10 points for you mr. t-minik, thank you!!!

It was a PUYA problem?

If so even Sonoff has started to use PUYA, not a good move by them if that's the case .

Yep, my new sonoff basic came with puya eeprom in it.

Hope it won't be a major problem increase.
