How to Upgrade ESP-01 Module Firmware and test AT Commands

[@anis3507]

Thank you so much! The most clear instructions in the Internet so far. Couldn't flash my ESP, struggled for several days until you helped, now it works

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Anis Glad it helped! Best wishes!

[@anis3507]

@@BINARYUPDATES Hey, I really need your help. I need to send data from Arduino Uno to ESP-01 through serial monitor. However, in the internet I only found a way to send data from ESP to Arduino, but not in opposite direction. I want to make a telegram bot on ESP. Arduino Uno, in turn, should obtain data from sensors and send them to ESP, that's why I need this connection. Then ESP should process obtained data and send it via telegram to the user. I really, really need this to make somehow, please help. Thanks in advance!

[@clobel55]

Clear? you gotta be kidding

[@jensschroder8214]

The ESP-01 has 0.5 MByte flash (= 4MBit, flash IC: 25F04) The ESP-01s has 1 MByte flash (=8 MBit, flash IC: 25F08). Some ESP-01 have 1 MByte too. There are also ESP-01s with 4MByte flash (=32 MBit, flash IC 25F32).

HARİKA anlatıyorsunuz.Emeklerin için çok teşekkür ederim

Hii, when i let baudrate 115200 the system cannot ready but system ready when baudrate 9600 can i know why

[@BINARYUPDATES]

This means your ESP-01S Module is running ESP-01 firmware which uses 9600 baud rate. In my opinion, you can reflash new firmware or carry on using module with 9600 baud. It doesn't make much difference for application development as long as we don't modify firmware or bootloader in ESP microcontroller. I hope this may help you. Good luck and best wishes!

Brilliant. Well presented and just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Csakip, Glad it was helpful!

[@KaraSub2.0]

It worked for me to send the AT commands, however I'm using a diferent usb adapter it has only the places needed to plug the esp 01 to it, should I use jumpers in every pin instead?

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi KaraSub, sure you can use jumper wire instead or switch to soldered on ESP-01 module adapter. It will be bit tricky though. Good luck and best wishes!

[@ahmedfaizal2316]

VERY USEFUL,well presented thank you so much man also i upload this firmware using arduino when you upload using arduino after upload make sure to disconnet gpi0 from gnd and reset the esp like in this video and start using at commands thanks

[@suhasreddy6333]

Hi! I followed everything correctly but it says failed to connect

[@ruenjou]

Digging through lots info at various forums, I was able to get the esptool to work on my Mac. However all the instructions required me to flash multiple files. Flashing was fine but the ESP01 didn't respond to AT commands properly after flash. Then I found your video and there was only one file to flash. Heck, I have nothing to lose, why not trying...voila, the flashing completed and it responded to AT commands properly. Thanks.

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Great, I'm happy to know your ESP-01 is responding to AT commands. Thanks and best wishes!

[@sandwichsilverflavour5658]

Looks like I can't use ArduinoIDE to send AT commands, but works well with CoolTerm. Awesome video, thanks a ton!

[@BINARYUPDATES]

I'm Glad it helped with your ESP-01 WiFi module. Thanks!

[@AZZATOUAITI]

HI i wanna configure one esp01 as hotspot and another one as its client through stm32 discovery board with IAR! how can I do that and how could I test the AT COMMANDS ON IAR

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Azza You can configure one ESP-01 Module as a webserver and communicate STM32 Discovery board as a client via another ESP-01. You can write embedded c program in IAR to communicate ESP-01 and STM32 over Serial UART. I mean by using serial communication you can fire AT commands from ESP-01 to make STM32 as a client. I hope this can help. Good luck and best wishes!

[@ravin278]

Bro thank you very much...... bcz i bought a new ESP-01 and got its basic firmware deleted and i am unable to do anything its just showing error i thought its gone , literally there were very very less video on "ESP- 01" ... So thanks for this video it literally helped me a lot

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Ravi Glad I could help with your ESP-01 Module Best wishes!

[@SarathiGhosh]

Thanks. Can you please share how to connect this to some of the free app like Magic Home, Smart Life, Cadio etc. ?

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Sarathi, thank you so much! I'll be making more video in next month to connect ESP-01 module to different cloud platforms. I think those video series may be interesting for you. Thank you for your input and suggestions. I'll soon create those tutorial lessons. Have a beautiful day!

[@SarathiGhosh]

[@wahyu_zx]

I want to ask, I have 2 esp01 last year I try to connect to wifi can connect, but this year I try to connect and wifi scan can't connect, I use wifi example on arduino ide. Can upgrade firmware can fix this problem?

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hey Wahyu, Yes consider update the firmware on ESP-01 Module. It'll fix issue. Good luck and best wishes!

[@rogermoseley7554]

Is the next video (building the web server) available yet? if so, link please. I am terrible navigating through Utube.

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Roger, the webserver in station mode running on ESP-01 Module is on the list. it'll be released soon. If its urgent you can use my NodeMCU ESP8266 webserver code (on my channel). And upload in ESP-01 Module and it will work. The program is absolutely same. I hope this will help you quickly otherwise I'm anyways making video in next week. Thanks for your patience

[@nguyenchinguyen4713]

my MCU is NodeMCU 1.0 when i tried to flash it said fail to connect... you have some idea about this ?

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi, please try to use other micro USB cable and make sure the cable will be of good quality which support data transfer as well as power. usually, this happen because of usb cable couldn't not support data as they only means for powering or charging. I hope this may resolve your issue. Good luck and best wishes!

[@eliasdomingues9898]

i use esp01s with usb adaptador ch340 and this msg AT ERROR why???

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi Eliasdomingues, please make sure first your ESP-01S is running latest Firmware. If so then confirm baud rate settings. And also test with other modules in case you feel something is unusual. Often, cheaper modules or adaptor may have board defects of missing component or soldering defects etc. but in rare circumstances. I hope this may help you. Good luck and best wishes!

Welcome!

[@jumbo999614]

I successfully upgraded the firmware and tested the AT commands. Now I'm connecting it to Arduino Uno R3 with this setting: vcc - 3.3v gnd - ground tx - tx(1) rx - rx(0) with voltage divider 1k & 2k reset - 3.3v (with 10k resistor) en(ch_pd) - 3.3v (using the same 10k resistor from reset) I upload empty sketch to Arduino and able to execute AT command through Serial Monitor. In the future, I'm going to do a project using Arduino and ESP8266(esp-01) Should I keep the same wiring configuration? Should I cross wire the TX & RX like tx to rx and rx to tx?

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Great, I suggest using Software Serial Library and use any pin as Tx, Rx on Arduino Uno R3 to connect with ESP-01 Module. You'll find plenty of online blogs and videos online on this. Good luck and best wishes!

HiNaifjan, Looks like ESP-01 is not getting into programming mode so it failed to upload firmware. Just make sure the sequence to short pins before updating firmware process. Its clear from your input that issue is with programming ESp-01 Module. Also make sure connection is stable during the process. Good luck and best wishes!

connecting .... Failed to connect

[@dioswilson3153]

Is there any way to update the firmware version? The one on the github is from 2016

[@dioswilson3153]

This version seems to be lacking of lots of commands, for example AT+CMD? wich should give a list of all AT commands availabe

[@BINARYUPDATES]

Hi, if you want to try latest version of ESP-01 firmware then it will be found on official website of Espressif systems. I am not sure if they still update firmware regularly. In my opinion since this ESP-01 module is very old need to check from Espressif. I hope this may help. Thanks and best wishes!

[@thevanrajsivakumar8286]

Can i know how connect esp 01 to wifi
