#50568 Hey!
I just got a new ESP8266. I am trying to connect it to an Arduino UNO.
The connections i have made are as follows:
Arduino Esp8266
3.3V-----------VCC
GND----------GND
TX-------------RX (Using voltage divider. 5V TX dropped to 3.3V RX for Esp8266)
RX-------------TX
3.3V-----------CH_PD

When i connect the Arduino, everything works fine. As soon as i do the above connections and connect the Esp8266 to arduino, a "Device not Recognized" message pops up in windows. Also the Arduino UNO board keeps on rebooting.

What can be the issue?
