Are these boards supposed to be able to permanently store and automatically run the sketch that has been uploaded to them even after power has been interrupted and restored? I figured this was the case but in practice mine is not doing this.
I have been playing around with the “ESP8266 Powered Propane Poofer” tutorial on the Sparkfun website. The the uploaded sketch works flawlessly right after being uploaded IF power is maintained to the ThingDev board. If I turn the board off or unplug it’s power source and then restore power, the ThingDev does not run the sketch automatically. I’ve confirmed this is the case with the “ESP8266 Powered Propane Poofer” sketch as well as the simple “Blink” example sketch. This is baffling.
What am I missing? Can anyone tell me if there is a way for the board to boot and execute the script AFTER an interruption of power?
Thank you!
