ESP8266 Community Forum

To use esp8266, i tried several firmwares. eventually i found the basic language.
To use the Basic, I understand the chip need to be flashed by flashing program and web browser editor programming.
But I don't understand the usage of the file basic-websockets.zip(Basic 3.0) and arduino.exe
Where the file unzipped, and how compile?
Arduino IDE with esp board manager program is prepared.

please help.

Hi,

Download the Flasher... https://github.com/esp8266/Basic/raw/NewWebSockets/Flasher/ESP_Basic_Flasher.exe

Put your ESP device into flashing mode by rebooting with GPIO00 button pressed.

Run the downloaded ESP_Basic_Flasher.exe program.
Select your appropriate Comm port and Flash Size (on left), then click 'connect' button on right.
Then click the big 'Firware Flash' button.

After about half a minute when the flashing stops the ESP device should reboot up into ESP_Basic, which you can then connect to at 192.168.4.1 in your browser.

Don't worry, it's a lot easier and quicker than it sounds.
