Programming ESP-01 using Arduino UNO or ESP-to-USB adapter

By Jan Kučera
- Fri Jan 06, 2017 8:34 pm #60568 Hello, I have just bought an ESP8266 ESP-01, and I want to write a program to it (from Arduino IDE with ESP8266 addon). I don't have any USB-to-serial converter, just cheap ESP-01 USB adapter form China (this one). Is there any way to upload program/firmware trough Arduino UNO? Or is there any way how to make it with the adapter?
Thanks for help

Because of the adapter, I had to use F/M Jumper Wires to wire the ESP8266 to the adapter. If someone knows, how to program it using UNO, he can put it there, so other users will find it. Thanks :)
