Espressif Forums - the official forum for the manufacturer of the ESP8266Īrduino IDE support for the ESP8266 is still pretty new and maybe a little unstable. I found that this article really helped me get over some issues I was waving getting the Arudino environment to work with the ESP-01.Īdafruit has several tutorials for the ESP8266, using either the ESP-01 or their own HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout board. Some useful resourcesĪlasdair Allan has written a nice walkthrough of getting things up and running with an ESP-01. In that ciruit, holding down the button while cycling power on the ESP-01 will put the board in bootloader mode so you can upload new sketches. See the diagram showing the connection of a Sparkfun FTDI Basic 3.3v to the ESP-01 included in this gist for a basic hookup that will work for reading and programming the board (something like the Adafruit FTDI Friend would work almost the same just be 100% sure it's set up for 3.3v power or put a regulator into the circuit).

There are a bunch of resources for how to hook this board up for both bootloading and use, but they're a little confusing. Fortunately, new boards are coming on the market, such as the Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout and the Sparkfun ESP8266 Things. But it's cheap, was first to market and what folks could get their hands on. No one is really happy with the breadboard-unfriendlypin setup, the lack of an integrated voltage regulator, the number of pins broken out (two GPIO pins only?!?), or the fact that the board isn't FCC/CE certified. The ESP-01 is probably the most common ESP8266 module available right now.
Adding support to Arduino IDE via a drop-in extension (Arduino 1.6.1, 1.6.3, 1.6.4+) Not sure I'd use this now, it seems like it's getting oldĪs of May 2015, I recommend using Arduino 1.6.4+ and taking advangtage of the contributed board support from the Arudino ESP8266 project, Sparkfun and others. Adding support via the Arduino Boards Manager Recommended. There are several ways you can get ESP8266 support into your Arduino IDE.
