OS X support, more reliable uploads on Windows, board variants support, cleaned up logging

[igrr]

Hi, I've got a bunch of updates to the esptool here, mostly covering the code upload functions:

• Update to 0.0.3b version from Christian Klippel
• OS X support: fix compile issues, fix issue when serial port is opened in blocking mode, fix supported baud rates
• Windows support: use WinAPI to interact with serial port, use native names (COM1) instead of Cygwin ones
• Improve upload speed and reliability. Tune timeouts, write data to serial port in larger chunks, don't re-sync when multiple files are uploaded
• Start app from bootloader without a reboot
• Support for different methods to reset the board for the upload. Currently two reset methods are supported (DTR+RTS and just DTR).
• Improve diagnostic output, clean up some messages, clean up logging code

I'm not sure how to send pull requests to the original author since he doesn't seem to use github, so it would be great if these updates land into your repository.

Thanks,

Ivan

Hi igrr, I'm trying to create a PWM with the 5hz frequency with esp8266, in order to get a square wave with a 200ms period.

Could you please let me know how to create PWM 5hz?

I've tried with:

Void setup() {

analogWriteFreq(5); }

But it not works.

From esp8266 specifics the frequency range is from 1 to 1000khz.

Thanks for your help.

Waiting your feedback
