The ESP8266 can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. The best part is the codes are similar to Arduino. To start programming a ESP8266 using Arduino IDE follow the below steps<\/p>\n
http:\/\/arduino.esp8266.com\/stable\/package_esp8266com_index.json<\/code>\u00a0 (You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas<\/em>)<\/li>\n- Click “OK”<\/li>\n
- Open Boards Manager from Tools -> Board menu and find esp8266<\/em> platform.<\/li>\n
- Select the version you need from drop-down box.<\/li>\n
- Click install<\/em> button.<\/li>\n
- ——————————————–<\/li>\n
- Upload a blank sketch to the Arduino.<\/li>\n
- Connect RX to RX and TX to TX<\/li>\n
- GPIO_0 will go to GND<\/li>\n
- VCC and CH_PD will go to the 3.3v supply line<\/li>\n
- Select the appropriate ESP8266 board from Tools > Board menu.<\/li>\n
- Select the appropriate Flash mode (DOUT or QIO. See notes below)<\/li>\n
- Other parameters works mostly as it is – but still check once.<\/li>\n
- Start upload<\/li>\n
- RESET the module. This is a critical step and the timing matters. It may need a few tries to get it perfect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
After the code uploaded<\/h3>\n\n- Disconnect GPIO_0<\/li>\n
- Reset<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
For further details please check http:\/\/esp8266.github.io\/Arduino\/versions\/2.3.0\/<\/a><\/p>\nPlease see this article<\/a> for a basic code (Blinking LED that is the Hello World of micro-controllers)<\/p>\nNotes<\/span><\/h3>\n\n- While uploading codes through Arduino IDE select DOUT for new chip and either DOUT or QIO for old chips.<\/li>\n
- Keeping it to DOUT will work for both New and Old chips.<\/li>\n
- Burning new chips with QIO (or inappropriate modes) will result in a successful burning but the code will not run.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
