Computer Garbage with simple example code

Q&A Forum › Category: ESP8266 › Computer Garbage with simple example code

drzrudsky asked 6 years ago

I attempt to run the simple code “ESP8266 Deep sleep mode example” on page 190 of the Home Automation Book using ESP8266. I am using a NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E module).

Here are the monitor results:

I'm awake, but I'm going into deep sleep mode for 30 seconds

(then it prints a about 4 line’s of garbage computer symbols before) I’m awake, but I’m going into deep sleep mode for 30 seconds

How can I prevent the garbage? I have tried all 4 monitor options for the carriage return to no avail.

Hi.
That garbage is normal.
The ESP8266 always prints some garbage on the serial monitor when it resets. There’s nothing wrong with your project, you can ignore the garbage.
