Problem getting this to run in macOS High Sierra #64

Closed TS22082 closed 6 years ago

Im here because I have been lead to believe trying "the latest esptool-ck release" will help me be able to load sketches on the SparkFun ESP8266 thing dev again. Ive only been experiencing this problem since updating to macOS High Sierra.

I downloaded the esptool-ck zip from this repository, unzipped the folder and ran TODO unix executable because it seemed like a good idea at the time, but when I run esptool -v it returns "command not found". As expected I still cant upload sketches to the esp8266 thing dev from the Arduino IDE.

The errors I see when trying to upload the Blinky example sketch (nothing plugged in): warning: espcomm_send_command: didn't receive command response warning: espcomm_send_command(FLASH_DOWNLOAD_DATA) failed warning: espcomm_send_command: wrong direction/command: 0x01 0x03, expected 0x01 0x04 error: espcomm_upload_mem failed error: espcomm_upload_mem failed

Have I been lead to the right place? If so, how can I get this working on my machine?
