Just followed a tutorial on how to set up ESP8266 with my Arduino Uno R3. I have a serial connection and get a response of the Arduino but I'm stuck now at chapter "first commands".

I have successfully issued the AT command and also the AT+RST command and got a response. BUT, the response return was "invalid" at its end instead of "ready". Also theres an output "MEM CHECK FAIL!!!"

AT


OK
AT+RST


OK

invalid <<----------------------------------------- should be "ready"

Can anyone explain me what that means? Do I have to (re)flash the firmware? And also - are the instructions all the same? I have bought mine from China but it was sold at the same ESP8266 module on Amazon.

This question has answers that may be good or bad; the system has marked it active so that they can be reviewed.
    
The invalid on the end means that your config on the chip is either corrupted or not set up yet. So that's not part of your memcheck problem – Hyra Power Jan 2 '16 at 20:11

According to the tutorial it's an undocumented bug with no fix.

If you change the name, baud, and set up the wifi and password you should be good to go
