Hello everyone,

Recently, I bought one ESP-01E (black version) module, the one that has 1M of memory and has the AI-CLOUD INSIDE printed. Well, I've already worked with ESP8266-01 (the blue version) and I used to make it works perfectly. My main usage was to program it as an Arduino. My question is: this ESP-01E is different in terms of pinout than ESP8266 blue version?

I'm saying that because if I use this new module in my old setup, the RESET pin doesn't seems to work. I attached a push button to reset the module whenever I wanted, and with the blue module, when I hit the button, the blue LED flashes. But, if I do that with the black module, the blue LED doesn't work!

Have you ever had this mistake? Or, is it a mistake? How am I suppose to reset this module?

Thanks for your usual attention.

In my experience both moduels work the same. The only difference is the flash size.
I got 6 of the black 1mb moduels on eBay and 20 of the blue modules previously on banggood. Both worked fine and programming them was the same.

Great, thank you.

I used to put RESET pin on Ground in order to reset and then I could see the blue LED flashes, but in this black module it doesn't seems to happen. Well, I'll keep trying work with it. Don't you have a schematic of using this black module with a FTDI converter, do you?

I use an arduino as my USB to serial. The picture on that page shows an esp 01 all hooked up for programing.
