SOLVED: ESP-01 driving me crazy.....

Thanks Pieter,

Ok, I'll try the RX/TX swap...
And for the UNO..I need the UNO because it has to control relays that water my plants in my greenhouse, based on the temparature and humidity readings...

Hang on...
I swapped RX and TX and now I see the sketch trying to connect to my AP. Wifi init was sucessful !
Now hoping it can connect....

Thanks again,
Hans
