Sonoff needs flash mode DOUT #42

Faced the problem that my Sonoff does not start reliable, even being dead completelly.

Found this and solved my issues: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/blob/66d9ff14ac804ea6f63fe6e2f371357a138d3bba/README.md#attention-all-versions

Therefore, platformio.ini needs these settings:

board_flash_mode = dout

Thanks.

I googled and found that it is for the newer SONOFF. The old version seems to work find without that options.

Possible. My recently purchased Sonoff Basic is repeatable unable to start without this flash mode. That's a bit weird as the documentation would rather mention the ESP8285, but the test against different firmwares proves this true. It might be a causality, but it does not hurt anyway.
