Wled: Wemos D1 mini - Error 2 -

[djhampson]

I get an "WLED Error 2" on 2 Wemos D1 Minis. I have tried 2 different releases and am definitely not using the 1M binary.

WLED version
Board: Wemos D1 mini x 2
Releases used:
WLED_0.10.0_ESP8266.bin
WLED_0.9.1_ESP8266.bin

My only suspicion is that my devices are not true Wemos d1 minis and they are some sort of knock off (they were purchased from ebay). i can run Tasmota on them without any issue.

Thanks in advance for your help - let me know if i can provide more info.

I assume you found https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/issues/900 . You did follow https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki/Install-WLED-binary ? Maybe try https://arduino.stackexchange.com/a/24692 to see what info that gives?

Thanks for the reply @raoulteeuwen

I did follow https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki/Install-WLED-binary however I deviated slightly by using Tasmotizer (which I understood used esptool) to upload the binary.

When I used ESP Home Flasher it is working fine.

So learning is - if you get the WLED Error 2, firstly check you are using right binary https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/issues/900 and then check the flashing method you are using.

Experienced the same issue with my Wemos D1 mini and WS2801.
Flashing "WLED_0.10.2_ESP8266_ws2801.bin" with Tasmotizer gave me Error 2 and loosing Wifi Info.
But flashing "WLED_0.10.2_ESP8266_ws2801.bin" with "ESP8266Flasher" on 0x00000 works perfect and without errors.
