I’m trying to connect a SparkFun Thing ESP8266 to Cayenne. When I try to upload the attached code on the Arduino application on my Mac, I always get the error code: error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
I’ve tried changing ports and changing upload speeds, but nothing helped. I got the code from GitHub, through a link from instructions (on uploading a Sparkfun ESP8266 micro controller) on Cayenne’s own website. The stuff in “quotation marks” was substituted with the relevant details. Please someone help :confused
…
// This example shows how to connect to Cayenne using an ESP8266 and send/receive sample data.
// Make sure you install the ESP8266 Board Package via the Arduino IDE Board Manager and select the correct ESP8266 board before compiling.

#define CAYENNE_PRINT Serial

// WiFi network info.
char ssid[] = “ssid”;
char wifiPassword[] = “wifiPassword”;
// Cayenne authentication info. This should be obtained from the Cayenne Dashboard.
char username[] = “MQTT_USERNAME”;
char password[] = “MQTT_PASSWORD”;
char clientID[] = “CLIENT_ID”;
unsigned long lastMillis = 0;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Cayenne.begin(username, password, clientID, ssid, wifiPassword);
}

Cayenne.loop();
}
// Default function for sending sensor data at intervals to Cayenne.
// You can also use functions for specific channels, e.g CAYENNE_OUT(1) for sending channel 1 data.
CAYENNE_OUT_DEFAULT()
{
// Write data to Cayenne here. This example just sends the current uptime in milliseconds on virtual channel 0.
Cayenne.virtualWrite(0, millis());
}
// Default function for processing actuator commands from the Cayenne Dashboard.
// You can also use functions for specific channels, e.g CAYENNE_IN(1) for channel 1 commands.
CAYENNE_IN_DEFAULT()
{
CAYENNE_LOG(“Channel %u, value %s”, request.channel, getValue.asString());
//Process message here. If there is an error set an error message using getValue.setError(), e.g getValue.setError(“Error message”);
