ESP8266 Community Forum

I want to upload my code to the Esp8266 board with the help of Arduino IDE. I saw some videos online on how to go about it. But I could not understand the procedure to upload the code. I also saw that you need a TTL module to upload the code. Any help about this is appreciated.

Hello, Many versions of the NodeMCU have in-built USB to TTL converter. They can be directly connected to the computer. Which version are you using? Could you please share a link with us?

@rpiloverbd: just to be clear (for TS) an ESP8266 is not a NodeMCU; the NodeMCU board contains an ESP8266.


What ESP8266 module do you have?
Do you have a module (ESP-01 - ESP-12) or a development board (like the NodeMCU, already mentioned, or a Wemos)?

What does it look like and where did you get it from: show us a picture or a link.
Our Wiki might also help you identifying the one you have (though it is outdated).

Oh I really made a gross mistake even though I knew these matters! Thanks a lot, dear friend. You made it clear. Let's see what the questioner is using. Thanks again.
