Here is what I bought: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O34AGSU/
> How are you powering the ESP board?
Well now I feel like an idiot. I knew from reading that the chip required 3.3V, and the cable I have (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008AGDTA4/) outputs 5.5V. I was reading through the comments on Amazon for a wiring diagram and someone just said to leave the 5.5V wire disconnected. So I did. And then when I plugged it in, the LED's worked, so I figured it must be drawing power through the RX or TX wire. I'm thinking this is my problem.
> Have you wired up anything to any of the other ESP pins
Nothing else wired up.
Would this be suitable for the ESP8266 mentioned?
EDIT: after some research, I found that this was recommended more.
