I have the same error until I found some videos like this: Some boards need flashing first with the tool presented on this video (my case with a no-name board), some don't (my case with an Amica board). After you've done the flashing procedure you'll be able to use Arduino IDE, putty, esp tools etc. Otherwise not. I use only Arduino IDE because I'm familiar with.

Non rechargable batteries could be rechargable with a Bedini-Imhotep fan (to prevent heating). It doesn't last that long as new and if repeated it loose efficiency.
I connect a wire on the roof (few meters of clothes hanging wire that I have at hand) and another wire (an electrical wire connected an year ago for older projects) on the building foundation. Those wires are connected on de AC pins of a bridge rectifier. Then I connect a 380V 470 uF DC capacitor to the + and - of that bridge rectifier. It charge the cap over 14V DC. Now I try to charge a 5.5V 4.0F supercap. I made it today, therefore I have not to much data to share. The weather is very dry now. I expect higher voltages when the weather become cloudy, even rainy. Is a very easy experiment to be done as you may notice.
