How to program ESP8266 ESP-01 with Arduino UNO and FTDI232

In this basic esp8266 esp-01 tutorial video, I have shown you how to program ESP8266 or ESP01 using Arduino UNO and FTDI USB to TTL converter with Arduino IDE.

During the video, I have shared the Arduino ESP8266 board connection and all the required settings in Arduino IDE for uploading code to ESP01 using Arduino UNO or any USB to Serial interface board.

For Circuit and other details please visit the following article

TimeStamps for this Arduino ESP 01 tutorial video:
00:48 How to connect Arduino with ESP8266 for programming with circuit
01:36 Required settings for Arduino IDE for programming ESP8266
04:51 How to control LEDs or Relay with ESP01 with Blynk App
08:06 How to use FTDI232 USB to TTL converter to program ESP01 or ESP8266

In this video, I have used only example codes, which will be available after downloading the ESP8266 board as shown in the video.

I have also explained different errors, you may get while uploading the code to ESP8266 using Arduino and how to resolve those errors. So if you follow all the steps shown in this video, then you can easily program the ESP8266-01 board for different IoT projects.

I have also shown how to download Blynk App and how to control LED or any Relay with ESP8266 from the smartphone.

Important points to remember while programming ESP01
1. Connect GPIO-0 with GND for programming mode.
2. After uploading the code disconnect GPIO-0 from GND then press the RESET button.
3. If any connection error occurs, disconnect Arduino from Laptop and try again.
4. While getting Connecting......_____, Press the RESET button on ESP8266

Please let me know if you face any problem while programming the esp8266-01 board.

⚠ This video took a long time to make if you would like to buy me a coffee to say thanks, link below: ☕

Finally I know what to do when I get while uploading a sketch, just connect the RST cable for a while

[rock]

Nice tutorial. Saved me a lot of time getting started with the ESP-01

[danielkane]

thank you for this video! watched countless videos about programming ESP-01s off arduino and did not get it to work until i watched yours subscribed

[zaynfx]

Finally after watching dozens of videos.. This is video elaborate and is leaving no confusion... I hope I will do it this time... Thanks

[bedourbedour]

Hey bro nice tutorial, i get this error Failed to Connect to ESP8266: timed out waiting for packet header" during upload of sketch how can i fixed it

[ErickOPGamingameplays]

I hope this tutorial helps me, since I have searched for many and it is the first one that tells me about the error that appears in my arduino

[simon.bartos]

Thank you very much! This helped a lot!

[mohammadkamran]

Hey bro nice tutorial love it. But can i control complete neopixels LED strips with that and How? please reply or make a video with that 😊

[hyunglegaspi]

Do you have idea about Esp8266 wifi module? I have a problem. AT Commands doesn't work. It only displays reversed "question marks". Thank you again

[ianjaspercanda]

You sounds like "chess talks"
Very informative

[kajaltripathi]

Do this board provide two different current outputs from one source of 9 volt?

[nativ]

can i use this tutorial to make a portable access point with this esp 01?

[amitchaudhary]

while adding Arduino Tx/Rx to ESP Tx/Rx, logic levels are different(5V to 3.3V). Will it not damage the ESP?

[Aashutoshkumar-xuzy]

Sir, in this programming method there is no need to bypass arduino uno board?

[pedropsvc]

I dont have that library, can you put the link here? And the code if you don't mind?

[jeremytiempo]

iused esp-01s . im encounter a problem when i pressed the button."esptool.FatalError: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header
"

[sharmavikashkumar]

I am uploading Blynk library but WiFi connect esp8266 01 automatically relay on how to solve this problem.

[CromwellCreaTEGY]

Amazing, , worked like a charm. Please tell them you have to connect Reset pin or arduino into pin GND or arduino

[natej]

ok I followed the instructions and could not for the life of me get the code to upload to the ESP device. Following the advice on a few comments below I eventually did and combined the solutions below. Installed ESP8266 v2.7.4, then unplug the ESP TX and RX from the Uno. Upload a blank sketch to the Uno and make sure you can do this. Reconnect the ESP TX and RX wires back to the Uno. Note: a comment below said that the TX and RX wires were the wrong way around? they weren't as the code uploaded with Blue for TX and yellow for RX. When you now upload the sketch the connecting line appears and I pressed the button for a few seconds then released it and the code then wrote to the ESP.
