I flashed my esp8266, but i cant find the Wifi AP that it is supposed to generate.

Could anyone help me?

Hi! Its a common mistake, you need to change the flash mode or flash size when flashing the ESP because not all boards have the same flash memory. Read issue #2 #7 #15 #38

Hello,

I used this (Dev Board for flash the "ledstrip.bin" file to my ESP12-F and I try several times with 3 different ESP-12F modules and I can't see the Wifi AP network !

I've also tried different flash mode "DIO" and "QIO" but same issue and I can't choose the flash size with the NodeMCUFlash tool!

What's doing wrong? I missing steps?

This is the result of my flash's :
