Raspberry Pi Zero: the $5 computer

Sadly, my ESP8266 experience is only about to start next week, I'm still abroad. But from the experiences of some of my friends, consider replacing the firmware on the ESP - some units were apparently sold with buggy one that made the module crash after short time.

Good luck!

Yeah, I've tried flashing the Arduino firmware (I think it gets flashed every time regardless). I'll keep trying and let you know, thanks!

By the way, if you don't want to keep checking the comments, you can follow me on Twitter at @stavros and experience my frustration first-hand. I'll be posting about it there.

I'm using HN Notify, so I generally get replies straight to my inbox (except some weird bug once that made the service not work for me for like a month or two). But yeah, maybe Twitter is a better place to have real-time updates. Will be following. Thanks :).

I just got it to run, yay! Things are going well, and MQTT functionality has been working well for the past hour. Just checking in :P
