Hey guys,
I bought an esp module and flashed it using the below guide:
It seemed like flashing the chip was successful[see logs below], however after flashing it and rebooting it in a non flash mode, I do not see any additional wifi that I can connect to, nor am I able to ping the 192.168.4.1 :

Is there anything I am missing ? If anyone has any experience in this, can they guide me. Would also appreciate any lead to a reliable ESP8266 vendor that works out of the box with QGroundcontrol
