#1 Program an ESP01: The easy way!

[@leonciocarvalho4648]

Dear FRIEND (FRIEND always with capital letters!) I had a lot of of trouble trying to program an ESP-01. Nothing works... Until I watch your video (this video here!!!) Thank you a lot! It was very gratefully to learn something new from you! THANK YOU!

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

Glad to be of help! Good luck with your project!

you saved me nightmares

[@oldbear82]

thanks a lot. i have question.. and pls make new video for : easy way to connect between PC and ESP+Arduino for any cnc machine

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

Ah while I can’t promise the cnc machine part, communication between arduino and PC can be done a number of ways, serial com, ROS etc, thanks for the idea!

[@TheWaterman1000]

Thanks for the informative video. I'm running mint 21 for the sake of me won't install? The arudrino.

Soldering was not as easy as it looks better off to just order the right one from aliexpress in the 1st place I think it is about the same price ,I wish I knew this thing was not what I wanted before I ordered it , good thing I found this video I managed to get it done, but I still have not tested it yet though, soldering to the GPIO 0 pin was not easy ,I kept bridging pins whatever solder they use was not compatible with the solder I was using, I also wonder If I could have used the ground from where the USB connector is soldered to the board instead of the one on the header pin, it would have been a bit easier although for some reason I had much less trouble soldering to that GND pin than the GPIO 0 pin on the header I also used some hot glue and I mounted my microswitch on the side of the yellow header connector( at the bottom of it if the USB connector is facing to the left and the header is on your right) it fits perfectly there , this way while plugging in the board to the USB on the PC with your right hand you can very easily hold down the button with your thumb.

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

I think using the usb ground would work, since the only requirement is pulling GPIO 0 to ground. And nice work with the placement of the switch, I might try it myself :)

[@joaomede]

thanks

[@ErickWendelTraining]

thanks a lot!!

[@HanD_1964]

Very clear explanation. Thx! It helps! Just one question. What about the driver for the programer? Can you explain that please i read a lot about incompatability.

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

This programmer uses CH340 chipset for USB communication. You will find these on almost all the arduino clones in the market because of its low cost. You can find the link to the driver in the description. You don't need the drivers if you are using a linux based os like ubuntu. Thanks for the comment!

[@HanD_1964]

@@AIbeginsDotNet Thx! I’ll buy the module. If any questions, i’ll be back. 😄👍

[@ronaldmorrison2765]

Your video tutorial helps a lot but the background music does not really enhance the experience. .

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@georgerothbart6214]

I agree. The music is super annoying and distracting and adds nothing to the presentation. Makes it hard to understand the speaker. Consider using voice only for the next video.

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

@@georgerothbart6214 Yeah, it is kind of annoying in retrospective, I will tone it down in the future videos. Thanks for the feedback!

[@dogeeatsveggies]

i know esp8266 is really cute but its hard to operate unlike node mcu... but i really want to learn how to use esp8266

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

Yeah, that's why I use it for permanent projects which only needs one or two IOs. For testing and prototyping though NodeMCU is much easier.

[@mikhan8088]

When I go into the example in the file bar, I cant find ESP8266wifi. Please help me

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

The board manager might not have been configured properly, add the board url and you’ll see it appear in the examples

[@andrewgromow1112]

спасибо друг

[@serektaibah4091]

is the USB communicator only used for programming ? and later you can just unplug the ESP-01 and put it in ur project or does it require the communicator with it ?

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

The USB adapter is only required for programming, you can use the ESP01 in your own project independently. You can watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHOwkoGkeLmLq80 where I have done exactly that. Good luck with your project!

[@tendtudo-hobbiestruquesman4672]

Parabéns, pela primeira vez consegui ver minha placa funcionando, agora como faço para programa-la junto com o relé?

why can i upload program's wifi scan it's "a fatal error"?

i have module and same connections and still it is not working

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

Can you describe the problem?

@@AIbeginsDotNet i have same module and it showing the code was uploaded but still my led is not blinking i checked as per your video everything is okk but still led not blinking

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

@@Rohitkumar-1994 which sketch are you using? Try adding some serial messages in the code and see if they appear on the serial monitor. And always remove and replug the module (without pressing the button) after your code is uploaded.

[@stemup3967]

How do I know if I already have ch340? Where to manage that?

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

On windows, check out the device manager when you plug in the programmer, if there is no device called ch340 (or something similar) listed under the USB section you will need to install the driver. Check out the blog link given in the description and go to step 3 to find the link to the drivers. Good luck with your project!

[@tanapongpongnat8519]

ESP-01 can store data in EEPROM? ,I want data to be kept in the event of a power outage.

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

You can use SPIFFS to store data in the flash memory, I have used this concept in this video : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXTXeah8j6preLM More information can be found here : arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filesystem.html Good luck with your project!

[@crispychickenwing]

Can i use esp8266 together with a Bluetooth module in one arduino uno board

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

Yes you can! You will have to use something called 'software serial'. Both the Bluetooth module and ESP01 will need serial pins (RX and TX) to work, but an UNO only has one hardware serial, so you will have to use 'software serial' library to make any two other pins behave like serial pins. More info on this link: www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/softwareSerial Though for a project that needs both Bluetooth and WiFi, I would recommend an ESP32 board, its even cheaper than an original UNO.

[@crispychickenwing]

@@AIbeginsDotNet thank you! 😊

[@paulobarbosa5246]

Hi! what is the part number of the USB programmer? Thank you.

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

This programmer is kind of generic, a lot of vendors sell the same stuff under different names. You can find these on banggod or ali express, even amazon has some of them listed at a slightly higher price. All of them are based around CH340 chipset which is the low cost USB interface used in most of the arduino clones. Good luck with your project!

[@Derkenblosh2]

My 650 didn't need a transistor... In fact, when I wired with a transistor, it fried my esp01

[@radeonblue1816]

Thank you very much for the video. If you can make a video on how to use it with 'Arduino Uno' then it will really be helpful. Again, Thanks.

[@videos40058]

what is this a wify module?

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

ESP01 is a microcontroller with onboard wifi capabilities but it is also commonly used as a wifi module for other microcontrollers .

[@videos40058]

@@AIbeginsDotNet thank you so much dear sir for sharing some light on this head of mines:P I wonder what can be used for.

[@bryanst.martin7134]

Hard to follow you sir, too much background noise. It seems to be a good explanation, maybe I will just mute and read the CC text.

[@AIbeginsDotNet]

My apologies, I have been told the background is too loud, I will work on that in the future videos. If you’d like, I have written a blog on it as well, kind of reads like a transcription, you can find the link in the description. Good luck with your projects!
