No esp_0 after flashing Sonoff Basic to ESPEasy

[mischa72]

Guys,

I hope you can help me in this issue. I'm working all day to get this solved, but I'm getting to a frustration level, which means I'm starting to throw stuff around.

This morning I flashed 4 Sonoff Basic to r120 of ESPEasy using my USB to Serial converter. So far so good, including soldering the header this was done in about 15 minutes. Then the struggle started when I tried to connect to the Basics using their own WiFi. No esp_0 available. WTF !! I already thought the flashing went too easy. I have waited for more than one hour, but no WiFi network appears from the Sonoff.

The Basic I have is is Sonoff Basic R2 v1.0 dated 2017-10-11. I already read Sonoff changed something, so you should use the Arduino IDE to flash the Basic, but however I tried, I don't manage to configure the Arduino to flash the Basic properly.

Please help !

Regards,
Mischa

Try to erase flash using esptool and flash again. I had similar problems with Sonoff Basic and erasing solved issue.

Good luck!
