Arduino example apps for the Oak
« on: February 10, 2016, 12:20:14 am »
My Arduino IDE shows a heap of examples for the ESP8266.  But I'm not sure which of these examples are save to use and which will brick my device.   (I think I already bricked one of Oaks by loading one of the example sketches).

Is there a list somewhere of which examples are working and which should better be avoided?  Or are they all good to go?

Update...  just for the record, the bricked unit referred to above was easily recoverable using the techniques as described in https://github.com/digistump/OakRestore, once I got some help in this thread https://digistump.com/board/index.php/topic,1995.0.html

I'm still curious to know which of the example sketches can be used and if some should best be avoided at this stage.

What sketch did you run that bricked it?

I'm not sure actually.  The thing is that I tried several of them before I noticed that it can take several minutes for a sketch to load.  But now that I know I can easily recover a bricked one I will be less nervous to try them again.
