ESP8266-PROG
Help for the programming and use of a ESP8266
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Dear customer,
thank you for choosing our product. In the following, we will show what
you should note at the commissioning and during the usage.
Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please do not
hesitate to contact us.

2.CONFIGURATION OF SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT
First of all, you must prepare the Arduino development environment for the
use with the ESP8266.
For that, enter in the global settings of the program the following URL as an
additional board manager URL:
https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
Aer that, the additional board library must be installed. For that open the
board manager and install the ESP8266-library.
As soon as the board is successfully installed, you can select the Generic
ESP8266 Module in the list of available boards.
Your Arduino development environment is now ready for the use with the
ESP8266.

3. CONNECTION & PROGRAMMING OF ESP8266
Put now the ESP8266 in the yellow connector of the programming module
like shown in the picture.
Next to the yellow connector is a small switch (also shown in the
picture). Note that the switch should be on Prog if you want to program your
ESP8266. For the regular use, you must set the switch to UART.
Connect the programming module with the USB-interface of your computer.
If the automatic installation of drivers fails, you have to install the drivers
manually.
In this case download the driver installation program and install the
drivers. Note that the accurate port is selected in the Arduino settings.
The in the Arduino environment installed ESP-package provides some code
examples for the use of this module. These examples are highly
qualied for the entering into the programming of the ESP8266.
