How to program ESP8266 - 01
Monday, May 15, 2017
In this tutorial I am going to show how to program ESP8266 - 01 using Arduino board or using FTDI parallel to serial converter through few easy steps.
Here I am providing both the circuit diagram to connect the ESP8266 with arduino or FTDI parallel to serial converter. In both case the programming is in the same way..
Circuit diagram - ESP8266 + FTDI parallel to serial board

| CIRCUIT 2 |
Connection information
- ESP8266 VCC - 3.3volt- ESP8266 GND - GND of arduino/FTDI
- ESP8266 CH_PD - 3.3volt
- ESP8266 RST ground it for reset
- ESP8266 GPIO 0 - ground it at the time of uploading program .
RX, TX Connection for FTDI
- ESP8266 RX - TX of FTDI
- ESP8266 TX - RX of FTDI
RX, TX Connection for Arduino
- ESP8266 RX - RX of Arduino
- ESP8266 TX - TX of Arduino

STEP 1 - Download and Install the Arduino IDE
STEP 2 - Add the the ESP8266 to Arduino IDE
1. First you need to add the information about the ESP8266 board to the Arduino IDE by going to File > Preference
 |
| 1 |
2. Paste this URL - http://arduino.esp8266.com/package_esp8266com_index.json to the field 'Addtionol board manager URL's'
 |
| 2 |
3. After that go to Sketch > Include library > Manage libraries to add the library of ESP8266.
 |
| 3 |
4. In the library management window, type ESP8266. From the libraries appear, press install ESP8266 community.
 |
| 4 |
5. Now from the Tools > Board menu > Board manager you can find the Generic ESP8266 Module.
 |
| 5 |
STEP 3 - Flash your code!
Select the COM port and upload your code. Now you can use your ESP8266 as a standalone board.
