On Arduino software click Tools > Board: Generic ESP8266 Moduleģ. Please ensure the jumper wires are connected properly to make it work.Īgain we need to select the right Board. The only addition to the process is to add a jumper wire between the 3V3 and EN of ESP. The process of flashing ESP-01 using this adapter is almost the same as the first one we used. It has 5v, TX, RX, GND and 3.3v which make it fit to program an ESP.
This serial adapter has a simple design but a bit complex to use in programming an ESP compare to the first one we used. Flash ESP-01 using USB to TTL CH340G Converter Module Adapter It’s good to remove the USB first from the computer and check the wirings if properly connected and proceed againĪfter the upload, you should see your ESP-01 blinking. The wirings maybe not properly connected. Sometimes uploading take a minute or two. You will see a progressing dot while uploading. Upload the blink sketch by pressing ctrl+u or go to Sketch and click Upload. On Arduino software click Tools > Board: “?” > Find Generic ESP8266 Module and select it
This how to get the port number manually. Insert the USB again and look for the new port number. If you have more than one port showing, just remove the Serial Module from USB and see what port disappeared. Go to Control Panel > Device Manager > Ports > If you don’t use Arduino software and just want to use other esptool for direct flashing of compiled binary bin files, you may need to find port number manually.
How to get Port number manually without using Arduino Software? If you got the port number, just select it and skip the following step and proceed to ESP-01 Arduino Board Configuration Just select the port shown on your side, in my case I got Com3. Insert the serial adapter to your computer USB port and open Arduino software.
Jumper wire is placed on GND and Io0 How to upload sketch on ESP-01 using Arduino? This may help us later in testing the program after the firmware is uploaded. To make an easy jumper, I soldered 8 pins behind the serial module. To set ESP-01 on programming mode, we need to set a jumper wire to Ground and Io0 (IO Zero) This is how it looks after inserting ESP-01 on the serial adapter Wiring ESP-01 to set on programming mode Flashing ESP-01 using Esp8266 Serial Module Board ESP8266 Serial Module Board Development
whenever that happens, I have to hit the refresh button (F5) and it will replace the forums.Flash Program ESP-01 using USB Serial Adapter. I'll go ahead and warn you though that the forums are riddled with adds that replace the forums all the time. if you have difficulties in locating the newest version, you can visit s5vi's p2k development forum and request that he send you the version that you need, and perhaps request that he get it hosted on softpedia until he can fix the current versions to work well with the k1. Unfortunately, the programmers of the applications don't do a very good job of keeping links up at their sites for the older versions of their applications since they assume that the newer version is always better than the last. The software is freeware, so you may be able to find and acquire it legally at a torrent site or through other P2P applications. So a few specifics could help.Īlso, have you tried the version from softpedia?
Did you try that version anyways? and what version is it anyhow? to be honest, I only followed the guide from there and didnt download from there.
