Troubleshooting
Module not responding:
- Verify power supply is 3.0-3.6V with >300mA current capability.
- Check CH_PD/EN is pulled HIGH to 3.3V.
- Ensure GPIO0 is HIGH for normal boot, LOW for flashing mode [citation:3].
Wi-Fi not connecting:
- Connect to 2.4GHz network only.
- Check antenna connection.
- Verify SSID and password in AT commands.
