How to Program ESP8266 with Arduino Uno

Learn how to Program ESP8266 with Arduino Uno. You just need to install the board and connect it to the computer for programming it. We are using the Blink LED program as a sample program.

First, install the ESP8266 Board to Arduino IDE. If you have already installed the board to boards the manager of Arduino IDE. Select the proper board (Generic ESP8266 Module) and port. Finally, upload the Blink program to the ESP8266 WiFi Module.

why do you need a 3v3 voltage regulator when Arduino has 3v3 power pin?

[sujjwal]

Can we programme esp-12E using this method ?

[robotechindonesia]

thank's you, when i try the first i that ok but when i try to second i not ok

I'm getting generic module error what to do now?

[swastikgowdal]

i dont know why but i am getting this error -
FatalError: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header

[ajaydeshpande]

Strange. After wiring the thing up, I dont see the port in the ports list at all. Any ideas?

[cooperr.]

Do you need the voltage regulator or could you just wire up the wifi module directly to the 3.3 V port on the arduino?

4 minutes for you to download the board manager. Couldn't you just cut the video during that time? Why are all Indian videos so poor in execution? Not helpful at all.

[extendshuvo]

not working...fake video. it show baud rate 9600. just fooling people

[utkarshdeoli]

Why the fuckk u want a voltage regulator
