#23311 Hi ,

recently I've bought my first ESP8266 ESP-12 module.
I have searched all across the web for good tutorial to begin with since all of the technical documentation is in Chinese (and I have managed to create account in www.AI-thinker.com web site ).
I have seen tones of instructables and youtube videos but most of them are related to earlier versions of this module.
is there anyone in the crowed having this module working and is willing to explain me how the hell i'm suppose to work with this thing ?
I need 2 basic things :
1. what is the basic circuit that I should use for flashing new firmware?
2. pinout documentation

P.S.
i'm using FTDI232 to flash and communicate along with Logic level converter

thanks in advance!
