Project installs successfully but nothing is started

[JBHorne2]

I'm trying to program a new ESP8266 NodeMCU ESP-12E board for this project. I'm using VS Code with PlatformIO. I'm able to successfully run the example "blink" program. I am able to install this project successfully, however the board does not present any wifi or console output after reset.

Here's the logs from "upload and monitor", and you can see the console output at the end:

• The terminal process "C:\Users\UserName.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe 'run', '--target', 'upload', '--target', 'monitor', '--environment', 'nodemcuv2'" terminated with exit code: 1.

• Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

• Executing task in folder esp8266_milight_hub: C:\Users\UserName.platformio\penv\Scripts\platformio.exe run --target upload --target monitor --environment nodemcuv2

Here's a link to the board I purchased if that matters:

Any ideas? I'm really stuck here!

Terminal on COM4 | 74880 8-N-1

Bautrate 74880 is a strange number
setup states:
Serial.begin(9600);

try typing CTRL T and then b and then 9600 and enter (menu bautrate 9600)

Or check platformio.ini

Maybe change or add:
monitor_speed = 9600
just after upload speed =xxxx
