Hi, I have an ESP8266-Thing that I bought as a nifty dev board for the ESP chip. After adding headers the first thing I've been trying to do is to test program it with an example sketch with the Arduino IDE. I made sure I had the board support properly installed and setup by test programming several ESP-01 modules and a ESP-12E module breakout all successfully. For some reason I cannot get the ESP8266-Thing to program, the IDE attempts to load the compiled file, I found this by looking at the UART signals going from my FTDI breakout to the ESP8266-Thing with my logic analyzer. It appears the ESP chip is not responding to the programming routine, since I am new to this chip I'm not sure what that means. I hope I didn't get one with a dud IC.
