How to program ESP8266/ESP12 with ESP-PROG
Install the drivers for the ESP-Prog
Follow the tutorial on PlatformIO on how to install the drivers
https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/plus/debug-tools/esp-prog.html#drivers
After you are done with installing the drivers
Wiring
| Pins on ESP8266/ESP12 | Resistor required | Pins on ESP-Prog |
|---|---|---|
| GND | GND | |
| IO15 | 1KΩ | GND |
| GND | 1KΩ | VCC |
| RST | EN | |
| IO0 | IO0 | |
| Tx | Tx | |
| Rx | Rx | |
| VCC | VCC |
After you are done wiring we are going to program it
Program
You can program it with Arduino IDE or PlatformIO or any other software that can program a ESP8266/ESP12 dev board. Choose the COM Port from the ESP-Prog, when we installed the drivers.
