D: VS1053 error retry SB:0000 R1:FFFF R2:FFFF about esp-radio

Praveenchaun,

It looks like the connection to the VS1053 is not correct. There shouldn't be errors after "Slow SPI,Testing VS1053 read/write registers...". In your case I see a readback of "FFFF", so I assume that writing commands to SPI did not work. Check the wiring.....
Debug output should look like this:
.
.
D: Reset VS1053...
D: End reset VS1053...
D: Slow SPI,Testing VS1053 read/write registers...
D: Fast SPI, Testing VS1053 read/write registers again...
D: endFillByte is 0
D: * Scan Networks *

Thanks for your response.
I have not connected the reset wiring to VS1053, is that could be an issue?
I was trying to reset the board manually pulling it to GND between below steps.
D: Reset VS1053...
D: End reset VS1053...
Could you please let me know what the diod values you used?

There is no need for the reset wiring as long as you use power-off power-on to reset the radio. I used 14148 diodes. If "Testing VS1053 read/write registers" produces errors, check pins 1,2,4,5, and 7 of the VS1053 board. I'm pretty sure that one of these pins is not (or wrong) wired.
Make sure you select Board: "Generic ESP8266 module" and Flash Size: "4 M(1M SPIFFS)".

Today I reconnected everything and noticed that it stops at the below location:

: Restored settings: volume 80, preset 1
D: 1Reset VS1053...
D: End reset VS1053...
D: inside testComm
D: VS1053 not properly installed!

Once I disconnect the DREQ Pin, proceeds to rest of the steps and fails!!

D: Fast SPI, Testing VS1053 read/write registers again...
D: VS1053 error retry SB:0003 R1:0000 R2:0000
D: VS1053 error retry SB:0006 R1:0000 R2:0000

Something wrong with my module. I am using ESP12E Firmware :

2nd boot version : 1.4(b1)
SPI Speed : 40MHz
SPI Mode : QIO
SPI Flash Size & Map: 8Mbit(512KB+512KB)
jump to run user1 @ 1000

ŒÂÕ�MEM CHECK FAIL!!!

Your ESP8266 works correctly according to the debug output.
After power up or reset the DREQ line must be HIGH. "VS1053 not properly installed!" will be printed if this line is LOW. Pin 4 of the VS1084 should be on a 3 Volt level when not connected. If not, the board is probably damaged. Are u sure that the module is powered by 5 Volt?
