@ Jay Jay - Oops … :wall:
tried it and browsed to the ip with firefox to directly get some nice result … well uhm, not so nice maybe …
Didn’t get any out of memory message though but still the same s…
Thanks for letting me know …
@ iamin - I think just a jumper would be enough. Let me read about the update procedure and what other pins are for. To make sure.
I agree a jumper makes a whole lot more sense 
Edit: The jumper must be connected to GND AND GPIO0 applies to all boards.
cheers,
Jay.
What about Reset and GPIO2, do they need to be connected to GPIOs on Gadgeteer socket?
It would be nice to be able to update firmware on ESP from a netmf app. I haven’t look at the documentation yet. Later today.
@ Architect - The module has a single command to update it’s firmware, just have to pull gpio0 low. I used it as soon as I got my module.
@ Architect - OK. I need to know the following:
- What to do with RST, GPIO0 and GPIO2 pins on ESP.
- What to do with two GPIO pins on Gadgeteer socket.
- What to do with a jumper.
@ munderhill - I understand that. What I mean is if we connect these pins to socket we can programmatically update the firmware from Gatdgeteer/NETMF application. Sort of IFU for the module.
@ iamin - let me get back to you on that.
@ Architect - Yes, you can.
you sure can, it even comes with a built Cloud update. so you can pull GPIO0 to low using your NETMF app and then call this:
AT+ CIUPDATE
cheers,
Jay

This thread has some great posts and I feel that I need to get on board with trying the device out. Can any of you participating in this thread recommend a UK source for this WiFi modules? Either SMD or TTH.
Thanks.
While updating ESP8266 (thru AT+CIUPDATE) and having an ip address and network connecting the blue comm LED keeps on flickering/flashing any idea how long this stays …
Used the arduino port monitor to issue the commands with succes but now after ciupdate the esp responded with update 1, update 2, update 3, update 4 and then a lot of rubbish characters and keeps on going …
Anybody any ideas ??
@ PiWi - If I remember correctly, it only took about 2 minutes to update mine. I was very impressed. I did have to do it a couple of times though. Is GPIO0 tied to ground?
@ munderhill - nah, this runs already like half an hour. And keeps on doing that, even after reset and power cut, the comm led keeps on flashing … already with two esp8266 modules …
@ PiWi - gpio0 tied to ground?
@ mundehill - now the blue led is on solidly … no flashing anymore … but no connection either …
@ PiWi - do you have gpio0 pin tied to ground? It must be in order to do a firmware update. Also be aware that the baud rate changed when I updated to 115200.
@ munderhill - yep, when I put gpio0 to ground the led is contiously on but still the same no connection possible …
- i pulled gpio0 to gnd (led permanently on)
- pulled reset to ground (led goes off)
- reset to vcc (led permanently on)
- gpio0 to open or vcc … flashing led …
I can not read nor set anything since the module is not connectable anymore …
I’m starting to think they are in a state of flux … :wall:
which version of esp module do you have?
also try flashing the Espressif firmware instead of the AI check my reply to Gus on how to get that.
@ Jay Jay -
AT+GMR gives 0018000902-AI03
I’m currently not in my lab, but I’ll later on try the Gus approach …
