*********F.A.Q.s*************
Q. Getting Error : espcomm_upload_mem failed
A. Make sure that the GPIO 0 pin is connected to ground(GND) and the esp module is getting power.
Q. Can't Install the ESP board?
A. Make sure that you have a reliable connection to the internet.
Q. My sketch doesn't run after I power the the ESP again?
A. Make sure that the GPIO 0 pin is disconnected if you want to run a sketch. Reconnect it if you want to program the board.
Q. I did everything right but I still get error during upload?
A. Go to tools, upload speed and try uploading with different speeds either '115200' or '9600' should work but if they don't try the other ones.
Q.How do I power the ESP without a arduino?
A. You can use a 3.5v LiPo battery or a breadboard power supply like the one I showed at the end(link below) or use 3 AA cells in series.

how to program the esp8266 using arduino 
Наука
Mine wouldn't seem to work after following the steps. I had to change Tools>Builtin Led: "x" to the pin 1. It worked after this, and worked for other sketches.
Thanks for the tutorial Live Sparks!
thankssssssss
Thank you so much, the whole time i thought something gone wrong while uploading. But just the builtin led var was wrong. Thank youuuu,.
Thank You!
Thank You!! Been struggling with this for hours!
Hahahhaha tnx
It was so hard to follow the tutorial, I was dancing so hard over the background music
Worked great for me using a Nano! The first few times I tried to upload the sketch it did not work, but then I found that it was because I had a bad USB connection to the Nano. Once I fixed the USB issue it worked great every time. Thanks!
This was extremely good and the best video on this ESP board on youtube so far after looking at dozens. All the other videos spend 15-20 minutes bullshitting about the board and telling you to download some python ide and a couple of softwares that are totally irrelevant. This literally goes in depth of how to actually use the board and running a simple code on it.
Finally after many hours it worked. I had to:
- connect all the pins to the breadboard, including GPIO2 which is not used;
- pull-up RST of the ESP with a 10 KOhm resistor;
- use an external power supply on the bus lines of the breadboard;
- connect the GND pins of the Arduino and the ESP to the GND of the external power module;
- change the Builtin LED to 1.
I hope this help other users.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was convinced that since the code was an example straight from the IDE that it would for sure be working code!! Silly me! I changed Builtin LED to just '1' and it worked right away. There are so many tutorials on the internet that are just plain wrong!
how to change built in LED?
@@ahmetfatihsalim7616 there should be an option under the "Tools" menu, see other comments.
worked perfectly. 10 times more straight forward than any other guide. subscribed. don't like the music.
Thank you for this got me pointed in right direction. Finally got my setup to work. I used a Raspberry Pi 3 - arduino nano - esp8266. Works fine with arduino IDE 1.6.4
Its work! I have been change the resistor by a wire. Thank you!
Thanks for the video Ravi, I succesfully connected ESP8266 to Arduino and it worked right away!
+Bhargavi Varanasi happy to help
This video is fast paced, but to the point. One can always play and pause at the time of execution. Well done.
I ran it at 75% speed and it is still fast but better, I had to pause and take notes too. Extremely useful I like the Cap in VCC to Grnd, need to see if that helps my Sound Systems output.
Nice, brief and complete video manual. Good work !
Hi Ravi, Thanks for the contribution. I have almost spent 3 days to understand what is to be done to use ESP8266 Wifi module yet I couldn't be sure about what I learnt. I came across your video and it is really clear and easy to follow out of several videos I saw to crack ESP8266. Your explanation speed is good its actually engaging us not being very slow or fast, All the best keep up the good work. Thanks again.
I love the speed at which you tutor. I can pause when I need and fly through the stuff I know. Thumbs up.
+lav Senoj Thanks
Really nice tutorial man. No one's got time for 20+ minutes of blah blah blah. You covered a lot of topics and gave some nice handy tips as well. All of that in less than 4 minutes!! :) I love it when tutorials are fast cuz that leaves more time in my day for practical hands-on use.
All those who are getting this type of error
warning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
before programming connect the module to power. Use a push button to ground the reset pin momentarily and then GND the GPIO. It worked for me :)
ruclips.net/video/fVmpF6ttz8M/видео.html
I got no problem .everything ran perfectly.Thanks Admin
Very good, clear cut no nonsense, I've been trying to understand this module for a couple weeks, now I get it! Thanks!
+cozmcc Thanks for appreciating my work!
Really helpful and informative :D thank you !
Hey Ravi,
Your instructions were perfect!!! I was able to connect ESP8266 to Arduino Uno right away. I was looking for something like this for a very long time now, and thank god I stumbled upon this. Thank you!!
Hello, Can you help me. I have a problem with that . Error occured during upload the coding . Here is the error :
error: espcomm_open failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
The computer can't find the ESP. double check the connections and reconnect everything before plugging in to pc.
Is it same connection for arduino uno ? because I google and there is many kind of connection make me confuse .
The connections are same as shown in the video.
I already connect all the pin as shown in the video and follow the all step. But there is still error. Why ?
this was a great tutorial, i wouldnt recommend it to people who dont know anything about arduino or havnt seen/used transceivers before. This is a GREAT tutorial for people that need a refresh, who may need to double check their setup, or have used similar boards and dont want to go through long boring tutorials again!
thank you!!!! finaly simple tutorial :D
Thank you! Simple, clear, accurate instructions. A great help :)
This video came in handy while trying to help a user who came into #arduino on IRC. I'm not familiar at all with the ESP devices, but your explanation was very clear. Thank you for making the video.
+d3jake Happy to help!
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks i follow your steps and i succedded programming the esp8266 wifi module.. thanks a lot.
I just want to say i think i follow your steps correctly but one thing is that the RST pin of ESP8266 before programming should connect to the GROUND for just 1-2 Seconds so that ArduinoIDE will find the flash memory, etc. details of ESP8266 to programm it successfully............
Thank you for this video. It worked first time with my Arduino Uno using the same pins as on your Nano.
+Matthew Finn Happy to help
i did the same as in video.uploading done but mine led is bot blinking like your's.
what could be problem ? i did not put 104pf on vcc and gnd of esp01.is it a problem?
you set a new record for the fastest tutorial ever... its a good thing these videos have pause
After all the damn issue - "espcomm_upload_mem failed"
power transmission too high, not suitable to use jumper
7 jumpers of mine been sacrificed to this startup configuration tutorial
Thanks man...nice tutorial anyway keep it up!!!
Perfect tutorial! Please do more of ESP8266 project videos
For some reason, I could never get this to work with my Arduino Mega. Worked fine with a USB-to-ESP-01 adapter.
I assume you connect the ESP-01's Rx to the Arduino's Rx, because that leads to the USB chip's Tx (an ATMEGA16U2 on the Arduino Mega). I could never get the ESP-01 to respond to the ATMEGA16U2's UART, but for some reason it responded to the ATMEGA2560's second UART just fine (I loaded a program onto the Arduino Mega just to forward data from UART0 to UART1 and vice versa), so I could issue AT-commands via the Arduino IDE's Serial Monitor.
Still, the ESP-01 would reset intermittently, and often, when powered off the Arduino Mega's 3.3V line (the ESP-01's output on startup blamed the watchdog timer sometimes, and the reset pin other times... ???). Didn't get this problem with the USB adapter. I still have to manually short the ESP-01's GPIO0 to ground on startup if I want to load a new program, because the adapter I got doesn't have any mechanism to do that itself.
Probably learned more about what's on my Arduino Mega, and what's on the ESP-01, due to so much stuff not working for a while. >.<
Also had to replace LED_BUILTIN with 1 in the blink sketch for that to work.
Short Simple and was very helpful!!! Go ahead as you are... Dont care about the people barking at you.
Hello , i have followed all the steps you have showed but i am getting the following error ..
espcomm_upload_mem failed
please suggest what to do .. ??
nice tutorial. You saved lot of my time and speed is what I loved in your video :)
Excellent my friend, very well structured tutorial..
Thank you for this tutorial. After to upload the sketch with no problem, I disconnect and connect again the power cable but any led blink!.... what it can be?
excellent video, thanks for your explanation. clear and practical. Cordial Greetings from Argentina.
ok, now i get it! you use arduino nano board just to use its ch340 usb-uart chip. That is why nano's reset pin is permanently hooked up to the ground and tx-tx and rx-rx pins are connected. thank you
It's too hard to hear you over the music. Music is great on fail videos etc. but please, not for tutorials.
Very true... I also found the music too distracting. Otherwise good video. Thanks!
awesome tutorial ..... best one so far on RUclips. also try to make a rgb colour changer and dimmer. thank you in advance. i think u will be back soon with this rgb project.
How to backup esp-01 into old or original version?
Please help me
Love from Kerala thanks bro ❤️🔥
Amazing voice-over.... Keep it up..
how to use this ESP module to get the values from MPU 6050 IMU sensor through wireless communication
Whenever you connect Tx to Tx, Rx to Rx, and GPIO0 of ESP8266 to GND, you are downloading firmware into ESP8266. After that, you no longer able to use AT command to communicate with your ESP8266. You need to re-upload the ESP8266 firmware into ESP8266 to enable you to use AT command.
i THINK you meant TX to RX and, RX to TX.
@@pastexpiry2013B Yeah from what I can tell, he said it backwards throughout the video too
No, I said it correctly. If the Arduino itself was communicating with the ESP then you would be correct. But we are actually bypassing the Arduino completely and hence the weird connections.
Oh okay that does make more sense. No matter what I tried, I could never get this working through the Arduino (presumably because I didn’t have the necessary capacitors, resistors, or possibly computer drivers), so I’ve been using a hybrid of a 3.3V power supply and my FTDI adapter which does require rx-tx and tx-rx.
Thank you for making this video. It was very enlightening. The music was damned distracting though.
Nice video, very helpful :)
Music was a bit too loud though.
I tried your example (with the mention that I have 8266EX)
I have "EN" pin instead of CH_PD, and I wired the module the same
When I came into the program, instead of blinking on module's LED, Arduino's TX did, why?
In the app, I had 2 new ports: COM5, COM4, COM3 (arduino uno/genuino) and I didn't know what to choose, so I let it on COM3
The first time, program has been uploaded, but the 2nd time on, I got an error and couldn't upload more
Board generic (platform esp8266, package esp8266) is unknown
how to fix it?
Hi,
Is it possible to program the WiFi module in such a way that it will act like a MCU and WiFi module at the same time. Where can I get the program / sketch for doing so?
+Vijaya Kumar Saliyan It's totally possible! Just check out the examples in the arduino IDE under esp8266 for inspiration.
Did you previously install the Arduino core into your IDE - or is this what is accomplished with the Additional Boards Manager?
thanks for such a detailed, simple and condesed tutorial!
For some reason you cannot use a jumper cable when connecting CH_PD to VCC. (you get a failed to upload error). Use a 10k resistor instead and it works perfectly
Your video is nice.Thank you. FTDI connector quite over my budget, will try this tomorrow.
But the video title make is not quite accurate. Should name it "How to program esp8266 with just arduino" or "how to program esp8266 without ftdi module".
I'm quite lucky for finding this vids. No need for me to buy ftdi or usb connector anymore.
I can clearly say this is the best useful video for the beginners. Thank you. Could you please make a demo video for internet connection between arduino board connected to the ESP8266 board as well?
sir can i ask something, i had this kind of project the wifi base electric fan microcontroller the components are relay 8 module, arduino uno, esp 8266 and 12v dc electric fan. its all working together but there's some problem the esp 8266 have been restarting because of the fluctuation of the tx in esp there is current flowing on that pin thats why our project is not working properly the esp keep shutting down. what can you suggest ? thank you!
+Vironica Macabenta There should be no current flow on the tx at all. That is a logic pin and works only on voltage. To prevent voltage fluctuations, connect a capacitor between the vcc and ground of esp as well as the motor. Also make sure that there is a flyback diode across the relay to eliminate voltage spikes.
thank you ill try it!

Many thanks, I was going to throw my ESP-01s away. With me, it ONLY WORKED when used both the 100ohm resistor and the 3.3uF capacitor.
I can upload the blink sketch to the esp8266 01, and after its done uploading the blink sketch works without an issue. But when I power cycle the board the the esp8266 01 doesn't run blink sketch. It looks like it loses its program...
Make sure to disconnect GPIO 0 from GND before powering it up again.
Hi
Can you help with the esp8266 in home automation?
I'm using it for home automation and the problem is when it reboots as the power gone, it automatically turns everything on .
I don't need anything to be on state.
Please help with it ?
Thanks for sharing and it is a good tutorial and it would be better if there was no music .
Keep up the good work .
When I connect CHPD pin to Vcc, red led goes OFF. Whats that?
How to do programming in wifi module esp8266 NodeMcu 12e module? how to make 3 outputs? thanks
Does we have to remove some wires, after uploading the program? as I have uploaded the program in ESP, but its not blinking!
Yes, disconnect the GPIO0 wire and you should be good to go.
it works! but i still need a conncetion between VCC abd CH_PD
how to make it work with arduino uno for reading analog value from pin A0 ?
Why does such an informative and harmless video like this get so many complaints and negative comments than some ridiculous teenagers' videos??? I simply don't get it :/ Anyways thanks for the knowledge, keep it up!
+AiPanda The negative comments help me improve, so its all good. 😁
Two gripes I have on the video, he rushes and talks so fast, and the music doesn't help with that.
hi ,can u pls use d audrino n wifi module to control light,as im a starter pls hlp me vid ur guidance
Thank You I am late to the party but trying to catch up great video, Dennis
Can you explain how to get the module back to accepting AT commands from the NANO after installing the Blink program, please?
+BLiS No. But here is a link: www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/update-the-firmware-in-your-esp8266-wi-fi-module/
hiii bro
please help me
i m using esp8266 -12 .Led does not blink after uploading the programme so what should i do?
How can I control devices plugged in arduino(like led,motors etc) using esp6288 and mobile phone. Please help!!
Just 1 question hopefully u can answer soon as possible... is this esp8266 need to be connected to a some kind of home wifi?
CAN I USE THIS TO GET DATA WIRELESSLY FROM ULTRASONIC MODULE AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND MONITORING DATAS IN MY ANDROID DEVICE OR PHONE????
Bro i want to connect a hard drive with this esp8266 or esp32 and use them as a server through which i can access my hard drive data wirelessly is that possible in any way??
Here we have established link b/w the 2.......how to connect it to our wifi network?
how to use breadboard adaptor ?
I am very confused
Hey thanks for the great video. I have a question on the esp8266. I am trying to use this as a door sensor where it will tell me when the door opens and closes based on a reed switch. I also want it to go to deep sleep just after it sends the MQTT message for close state. I’m confused about the GPIO0 connection. If i connect the GPIO to ground, can i not send this pin to go low which means close and high when open? So i have my reed switch connected to GPIO0 and ground. Then i have a jumper between VCC and CHPD. Am i doing something wrong? My code basically set pin 0 to digital read ? Let me know if you can help...great video btw
It is not recommended to connect anything to the GPIO0 because if the hardware pulls it to GND then it will take the ESP into programming mode and your code won't execute. If you really have to connect something to GPIO0 then make sure that it's pulled high on boot. I would recommend that if you pursuing a serious project then buy one of the ESP12 boards like the wemos d1 mini.
How to esp-01 wifi module by iphone can make as for a video thank you
Finally, a good simple video. (and not so annoying accent :P) However, I felt you should have explained the power requirements. Thank you!
after i connected the circuit ,the wifi led (red) gets switched on.but i couldnt find the com port of the wifi device .. (i connected without 100ohms and without the capacitor across the wifi)
please tell me how to flash the ESP8266 01 with its firmware using arduino
i am unable to interface esp8266 module with arduino uno r3. can you help me with it's connection circuit?
brother program uploading is done but it is not blinking even though i have removes GPIO0 from GND
PLZZ help
Can you guide me to connect the esp 01 with arduino mega to app inventor??
hi great video. having issues programming the esp. how can i contact you to find out a few things. example in my arduino ide i dont have the esp 8266 sketches. thanks
Very helpful 😊 👍😍 thank you 😊
You recommend putting a 3.3 µF Capacitor between ground and vcc? Didn't understood that
+Scorpiaa_ | YT: ScorpiaDev Its not necessary but can help smooth out any fluctuations in power.
i read some of the arduino nano document said that the 3.3V doesnt has enough current to drive esp8266, especially on esp8266 bootup process which required larger current
+Adrian Mak This is esp - 01 and for the purpose of programming, it works perfectly fine.
hi... i have a problem.since i am new to arduino, m not able to solve this
i am using arduino uno , esp8266 01 and ultrasonic sensor. I want arduino uno to read the ultrasonic sensor data and send it to firebase(database) via esp8266 01. Since i can not code directly th esp8266 01 and want to use arduino uno as main board how can i integrate arduino uno and esp8266 01(with code and connections please.)
please help.
Thanks in advance.
Hi I have connected every thing as you told in the video but still unable to upload program to esp8266. It is espcomm_upload_memory fails error please help me...
Do you have to connect the reset to ground. When I connect the reset to ground the rest of my project does no function...
Every thing is fine and insyructable,instructive, question is contents of video is important,or background music is. If music is important then put only music. Thanks
great help, what about the logic levels ? 5v or 3,3v to use with esp ??? ive seen many times used like this pure 5v.
Esp uses 3.3v logic levels but the serial pins work fine with 5v signals. You mist use 3.3v for the rest of the pins just to be safe.
@@LiveSparks ok but in all datasheets is mentioned not to use 5v. Thanks anyway
Hey man, I did the exact same connection but using an Arduino Uno, but after select ESP8266 as board, no new Ports come up, is this a problem? So I just use default arduino port and uploaded the blink example, upload succesful but no blinking. When I try again there is "espcomm_upload_mem failed" error. Please help! (Yes GPIO-0 is connected to GND)
same thing bro, can you help?
After uploading a sketch you can't upload antoher until you turn the power off and on. In the Blink sketch you need to select the currect LED in my case it was the second one.
yes...i am also facing the same problem now...did you figure out anything?
same problem i faced :( did you find the solution ?
Same problem. Please enlighten us
Best tutorial ever! Which is the firmware u're using with Arduino IDE? Cause I was using micropython and it have its own firmware...
Best tutorial ever
when i'm upload it say, " esptool.FatalError: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header "
please help!!
i am also getting the same error if it is solved plz tell me
@Nand Kishore Bhamidipati i dont have one of them is there another way to fix this?
I have a answer to this problem...
1. Follow steps of this tutorial correctly . OK
2. Connect RST pin of ESP8266 to Ground for just 1-2 Seconds before Programming...and then remove it after 1-2 seconds..
this is because, i think the reason could be Arduino IDE will able to show during uploading the flash memory found on ESP8266 and some more details. IDE can able to detect the flash memory of ESP8266 and then it will successfully uploaded.
I do every thing according you said in this video on Arduino UNO !! And at uploading time LED if blinking , But after uploading it
doesn't blinking as we program(It's not blinking any time after uploading) .
Hey Roshan! I am going to be making a very comprehensive ESP8266 tutorial on my channel soon. Make sure to subscribe and see if my tutorial can help you.
Does the microcontroller get the wifi now?
oh, does it mean the blink code are uploaded to your arduino as well? because i was thingking they both connectes to pc
+Ryan Widi No, the arduino is in continuous reset. It just passes on the information but doesn't get programmed.
