EasyEDA OnStep PCB
Yes, it's my intention to design a 3D printed case for the MaxPCB. It'll be a while though. Especially since I'm reworking my Observatory Control System with a EasyEDA PCB also and that will be built

While no one that I know of has used the ESP-12 (e,f,s?) I would be very surprised if my OnStepESPServer didn't run properly on it. My experience has been with the ESP-01 and the nice WeMos D1 Mini.

Both beta and alpha OnStep's will work, the alpha is recommended at the moment.

Here's a link to a slightly experimental OnStep ASCOM driver (version 1.39) that should address many of the issues you're having (and others.) Hopefully without breaking anything. :) I still wonder if

Alain, Be sure debug mode is off. I recommend using the WeMos D1 Mini's LED (set in Config.h), it'll flash until connected, simple but some feedback so you know what's going on. LED_PIN D4 Maybe, it's

Turn serial swap OFF, upload, then you should be able to connect (serial console) across the USB interface and re-initialize using the "R" command. Follow the instructions in OES's Config.h

Multiserial Isn't needed in this case. The WeMos has USB to serial, use it to communicate with the device for sending "R" (which is really just clearing some "EEPROM" settings in OES back to default.)

I don't understand how setting:... #define SERIAL_SWAP_ON ...could possibly cause a problem uploading the OES Sketch.
