How do I wire up the ESP-201?
I need to know the wiring setup for programming mode with the Arduino IDE, but also secondly how to power it once it has been programmed and disconnected.
On my ESP-01, for use after programming, I figured out to simply connect the four middle pins + VCC pin to 3.3v battery positive, then GND pin to battery ground...
But how do I do this with the ESP-201?
I haven't found any tutorials on the web, except a pinout diagram. But in the diagram there are multiple 3.3v pins. Which ones need to connect to battery positive? Which pins to battery ground? What else?

I already read those articles, but my confusion is that there are multiple VCC pins on the ESP-201. Which VCC pins need to connect to the power supply?

Since those pins are attached together ono the PCB, only 1 of each pins need to be hooked up.
