Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/SpacehuhnTech/esp8266_deauther/issues/77

I purchased a esp8266 from Aliexpress (China) and it arrived today. I watched Seytonic's video about it, and was eager to start. I plugged in the board and got to work on setting it up. Once I had gotten everything plugged in a working, I decided to upload it to the board. Here is a picture of the board that I have:

I tried uploading to the board with the Generic ESP8266, but it failed with an error. (Sorry, I didn't copy it and don't have it to share.)

After about 2 hours of messing with settings, code, and files, I looked at the comment section in Seytonic's video. Some people were having the same issue as I was.

To clarify, I tried different boards, different CPU frequencies, different baud rates, etc. Nothing was working.

I found out that for this board, pictured above, it uses these settings, which other people may find useful:

Board: NodeMCU 0.9 (ESP-12 Module)
CPU Freq.: 80 MHz
Upload using: Serial
Flash size: 4M (1M SPIFFS)
Upload speed: 115200

Also, you MUST hold down the flash button, reset the device, using the reset button, then flash it (you do not need to hold down the flash button while flashing the device, only when resetting it)

I think that the FAQ and Readme may be improved if this is added.

Thanks for sharing that information.

I also have one of these chunky big "v3" boards and mine works fine with "NoceMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E)" and 115200 baud rate without pressing a button.

Yours should also work with this settings, because it's clearly not the 0.9 NodeMCU version!
Maybe you need to install CH340G drivers? I'm not sure... my board comes from an other manufacturer maybe that's why.

I recommend the smaller Amica NodemMCU boards (like the one seytonic used). They use an other USB serial chip wich is more reliable, easier and faster.

I think that the FAQ and Readme may be improved if this is added.

Well yes, but that's a gerneral problem between the user and their board and has nothing to do with this project.
