Could you please edit the line on the main page: user1.4096.new.4.bin at 0x1000 to user1.4096.new.4.bin at 0x10000

It took me quite a few sleepless nights to work this out and maybe it will help someone like me (a total newbie). I received by mistake couple of ESP8266 and I did not want to throw them away. I guess I will have a kitchen Internet Radio BTW the ESP32 works perfectly. :+1: I am in the process of putting them inside the iPod docking station, hopefully. :fearful:

Thanks for the code!

Have no idea how did you manage it working. I've tried a couple of boards with params from main page and have no luck - board isn't available in the wifi list and no blinking after flash button[used ESP download tool v3.6.4] boot_v1.6.bin at 0x0000, user1.4096.new.4.bin at 0x10000, (0x01000 - from instructables) user2.4096.new.4.bin at 0X81000, esp_init_data_default.bin at 0x3FC000 and blank.bin at 0x3fe000

After your post I was worried that my success was a fluke, so I successfully flashed another ESP8266 with the corrected address (0X10000). I even found a screenshot from flash-tool here: https://github.com/karawin/Ka-Radio/blob/master/ESP8266-Firmware/documents/karadiov365.jpg I downloaded the "fresh" binaries into bin directory though.

Just remembered something. Did you reset manually the board after flashing? As far as I know the flash tool does not reset the board after upload.

Thanks, I just tried it and it does work. I do not know what happened when I tried previously. Apart from the device name in Wireless Network Watcher which is a bit weird and comes up as ESP_294C60.home but I can access it from WifiKaRadio.home.
