Programmable WiFi Module, ESP8266 and ESP32
ESP8266 and ESP32 are two kinds of programmable WiFi module which connects to the user control panel or application via Wi-Fi. So It allows users to have access to its features over the air and wirelessly.
We have a lot of projects based on these two useful module.
Programmable WiFi Module Firmware and Flash Programming
You can upload a firmware to both of ESP8266 and ESP32 modules.
Follow the standard steps of programming the ESP8266EX, which is with a USB-to-UART (such as the FT232RL FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter) converter and the ESP Flash Download Tool, and used the following connections:
| USB-to-UART | Connect To |
|---|---|
| 3.3 output | 3.3v Vcc |
| GND | GND |
| Rx | ESP Tx |
| Tx | ESP Rx |
| GND | GPIO 0 |
To uploading the firm ware, you can either use the Arduino IDE upload button or the binary file and “ESP Flash Download Tool”:
After uploading the firmware, the module will execute and run the program automatically.
Also we have provided a Web Application Builder and base source code for both of ESP8266 and ESP32 WiFi modules. These platforms are available in the following:
