[@webslinger2011]

For those experiencing upload Fatal error problem. After everything is assembled, put a ground switch on the ESP8266 reset pin. Power up the arduino nano and esp8266. Press reset pin for half a sec. Then upload program. GPIO-2 DOES NOT need to be 3.3V HIGH.

[@zx3215]

Sorry, didnt get what you mean by "press the pin". Is it like "connect and disconnect right away"? Also, as per GPIO-2 - should it be LOW while i'm uploading the code? Thanks!

[@zx3215]

Tried this today. For me it never works when i "press reset pin for half a sec". I could only upload code when Reset was connected to the GND from the moment before powering up the arduino and ESP8266 till the end of uploading. Otherwise it always fails with uploading. Maybe this is because I'm using Arduino Uno, not Nano?

[@nemanjapavlovic6365]

I can't thank you enough for this! It helped me a lot! Best of wishes for you man!

[@Ed19601]

Basically you are using the ftdi chip of the nano to program the esp. That will work for sure. I find it easier to use a 3v3 ftdi adaptor, but to each its own

[@AjayKrews]

Was looking for a video like his for a while. I’m using an Uno myself, but the video is instructive all the same. Kudos man

[@adamsvette]

I need help man, I did EXACTLY what you did down to the T. It shows that it successfully compiled and uploaded the code and everything, but I'm not getting any output via the COM window. I see this video is a few years old now, so is there some extra step i need to do in 2021 in order to get this to work?

[@PanosKontogiannis]

hi, I replicated your example and the IDE finished uploading the program but I do not get any serial prints. I added a reset button and removed the programming ground to GPIO0. then I reset the board and got (at 74880 baud rate) a message that the ESP8266 is still in boot mode (3,6). what im doing wrong?

[@martyminion5713]

It works... and I'd been looking for a tutorial like this one for ages....

[@christinethompson1406]

HI! thanks so much for this video, worked a treat for me after many hours of failure. I wired the ESP8266 as per your instructions. However I found some additional things to look out for namely the download settings, which I matched to those seen on your pc, and also ensured that I was using 2.3.0 version of the ESP8266 library.

[@mohamedsayed7809]

Can you please advice link to programming it (on / off) smart home using any IOT app like tuya or Blynk ??

[@robertjoanne64]

Like so many people I've found programming the ESP8266 to be impossible. I've researched every error message and tried every suggestion but without success, including this solution. However, I did pick up on the need for a good connection and in frustration I squeezed the ESP board and the FTDI connection between my fingers as it was loading. And it worked, the program loaded and ran. I don't know wether squeezing secures the connection or if my fingers act as some kind of capacitor/resistor. Unfortunately it's not a workable solution. Any comments?

[@hamidrajabi8775]

how about the level shifter?

[@zx3215]

Surprisingly, I saw lots of recipes for ESP8266 where they say "connect GND and Reset by a wire". On the other hand, for programming ATTiny they say "connect GND and Reset by a 10 uF capacitor". Do you know why? Maybe, not a wire, but a capacitor should be used for ESP8266 too? I tried the scheme proposed in this video (except that i used a 5v-3.3v converter to feed ESP8266), and I keep getting tons of errors while deploying the program to ESP. I have to unplug USB and plug it back again, and then it works - about 1 success out of 15-20 attempts.

[@aprelga5418]

You should voltage drop between TX on the Arduino to the TX on the esp with a 1k and a 2k resistor so you only use 3.3V.

[@zx3215]

People say that ESP8266 can accept 5V into its RX, and 3.3V from ESP8266's TX to Arduino's RX is still recognized as HIGH. Thus, seems no need in resistors.

[@MrGeekGamer]

I've wired this up the same way with an Uno and it seems like it doesn't get enough power. I've seen others say that the 3.3v pin doesn't provide enough current and that you must use 5v, but then adjust the voltage. How come you don't have this problem? Does this Arduino provide more current?

[@itchopshop5421]

The nano seems to be more stable. I had the same problem with the uno and the mega. There is a way to decrease the current from 5v with a ohm resistor and regulator. Google that.

It's not easy to use :/ I've been struggling for longer than I care to mention. I'm glad your project went well, but the upload (from espressif or the Arduino's board manager tool chain) have failed me time again on the ESP-01. I can get the ESP-12 to work no problem, so I went through dozens of forums, etc. to troubleshoot. It always comes down to power supply, which I've investigated as well; I've used an AMS1117 with a 100uF and 1000uF capacitor in different trials. I've used batteries as well to avoid current draw issues and still haven't found a way to put these modules in a stable condition for flashing....

[@irfan00750]

in my case, the problem solved when i changed the jumper that i used and the position of the wifi module..yet still it's all about the power supply

if i'm not wrong it is because you are using the nano just as a usb to serial ttl converter, that is also the reason why he also connect the reset pin to ground to avoid listen for the atmega328 for commands

[@BishanCader]

Paul is correct. In this case, Arduino is not communicating with the ESP. We are just making use of USB to serial chip of the Arduino. But I thought he need to remove the GRND cable from GPIO0 in ESP after downloading the program! May be it still works this way I haven't physically tested.

They make these usb adapters now. They're NOT programmers. You have to put in a momentary switch between GPIO0 and GND. Hold the button as you plug the usb/01s module in to your pc.
