Resetting ESP8266 Shield firmware to factory specsd

Would someone please send me a link that explains exactly how to restore the original firmware to my ESP8266 shield. Please assume I’m a real beginner.

Thanks

Hi, thanks for writing in.

I regret to say that SFE does not have a well written document entailing the firmware uploading process, primarily because I believe we got our ESP8266 modules pre-loaded with firmware. Uploading firmware is not part of the production process I am afraid.

The best resources appear to be on the Espressif website here:

There is also the ESP8266 forums which might be a good place for you to post this topic:

I hope this helps. Cheers for now.
