Hello everyone,

it's my first post here. My name is Infinity buy friends call me infinutius .

Here is my problem: i know that there is a version of the arduino IDE that can be used to program the esp module but, i couldn't get it working.

I'm using a esp 12-e module, with a serial to usb converter. It is running nodeMCU firmware and it can run lua script with ESPlorer but with the arduino ide nothing works. I already followed this guide, and I have installed the stable version.

I'd like to know what firmware i need to use and what are the steps to get it running with the arduino IDE.


thanks everyone,
Infinity

Hi,
unfortunately you don't write WHAT isn't working. So an educated guess tells me that you might have wrong cabling between your esp12 and the usb/serial.
You need to connect

if you want to use serial monitor you have to disconnect rst/gpio0 after flashing

Yes, schufti is right : what are the issues you are facing ?
is it compile time ? Is it during uploading the flash ? is it at run time ?

Yes, you are right. I forgot to tell the most important thing.

But i founded the way to do it, the problem was on some bad driver of my computer. when i changed them everything went fine.

thank to all,

infinity
