Has anyone had any success using the esp-13 from jaycar?
(https://www.jaycar.com.au/arduino-compatible-esp-13-wifi-shield/p/XC4614)

The shield is being powered through my Arduino UNO. I have not been able to communicate with the shield via the UNO at all but it does create its own wifi network AI-THINKER which i can connect to without a password bit cant do anything from there.

Doing some reading it seems my only chances or getting it working is to flash the chip, but i dont have the gear to do it yet.

If anyone has had any luck with this shield out of the box?

Have you guys had any luck with this particular combination. I have tried numerous combinations without any success. Starting to think its a bad selection of product
