If you get one that is in the upload list, you'll have the right settings. And popular boards are proven to be working and if not, you'll find a lot of tutorials/support specific to your board/problem that may even be the same problem as yours (and how to fix it) | |

They provider good tutorials as wel. Alternatively you could get a cheap, but common module like the NodeMCU or WeMos. | |

| Oct 6, 2016 at 17:47 | comment | added | user405975 | Thanks for your answer. Think I should have been more careful before I blindly followed some online tutorials. New boards are on the way so I hope I have more luck with them, hehe. Giving up on this one now I guess, think it's firmware is screwed, tried any firmware package I found on the Internet. | |
