==Communicating with the ESP8266==
 +
===Physical Connection===
 +
 
 +
Choose your favourite USB-Serial UART.  (I like the [https://www.banggood.com/CJMCU-340-CH340G-TTL-To-USB-STC-Downloader-Serial-Communication-Module-Pin-All-Leads-p-1149176.html CJMCU-340])
 +
 
 +
'''NOTE:'''  The ESP8266 is a 3.3V device.  Don't use a 5V UART!
 +
 
 +
GPIO1 = TxD
 +
 
 +
GPIO3 = RxD
 +
 
 +
As always, Connect TxD to RX-in on your UART & RxD to TX-out on your UART.
 +
 
 +
===Talking to it===
 +
 
 +
'''NOTE:''' The ESP initially spits out debug information at 74880 baud.  This is not a standard speed.  ([http://cholla.mmto.org/esp8266/weird_baud/ some discussion about this])
 +
 
 +
Choose your favourite terminal program & point it at the appropriate port.
 +
 
 +
In this example, I'll use miniterm (Because it's simple)
 +
 
 +
*<code>miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 74880</code>
 +
 
 +
Gives me this (with an ESP-M3 that's been flashed & made ready for use...):
 +
 
 +
--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0  74880,8,N,1 ---
 +
--- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H ---

 +
 
 +
See all that weirdness on the last few lines?  That's data at a different speed.  The device has booted & is trying to talk to us...
 +
 
 +
Starting over with:
 +
 
 +
*<code>miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 115200</code>
 +
 
 +
Gives me this:

 +
 
 +
Oh... Look.  It's a Tasmota device.
 +
 
 +
Notice the weirdness between the banner & the first line with 00:00:00 at the start?  That's the debug information coming in at 74880 that we saw in the previous example.
 +
 
 +
===Interpreting the Debug Information===
 +
Here's the output from an ESP-07 that hasn't been flashed yet (IOW...  Factory fresh):
 +

    • Many bugs seem to appear with version changes...
      • 0.8.6 seems functional on my D1 Minis. (Tho it self-reports as 0.8.4)

Communicating with the ESP8266

Physical Connection

Choose your favourite USB-Serial UART. (I like the CJMCU-340)

NOTE: The ESP8266 is a 3.3V device. Don't use a 5V UART!

GPIO1 = TxD

GPIO3 = RxD

As always, Connect TxD to RX-in on your UART & RxD to TX-out on your UART.

Talking to it

NOTE: The ESP initially spits out debug information at 74880 baud. This is not a standard speed. (some discussion about this)

Choose your favourite terminal program & point it at the appropriate port.

In this example, I'll use miniterm (Because it's simple)

  • miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 74880

Gives me this (with an ESP-M3 that's been flashed & made ready for use...):

--- Miniterm on /dev/ttyUSB0  74880,8,N,1 ---
--- Quit: Ctrl+] | Menu: Ctrl+T | Help: Ctrl+T followed by Ctrl+H ---

See all that weirdness on the last few lines? That's data at a different speed. The device has booted & is trying to talk to us...

Starting over with:

  • miniterm.py /dev/ttyUSB0 115200

Gives me this:

Oh... Look. It's a Tasmota device.

Notice the weirdness between the banner & the first line with 00:00:00 at the start? That's the debug information coming in at 74880 that we saw in the previous example.

Interpreting the Debug Information

Here's the output from an ESP-07 that hasn't been flashed yet (IOW... Factory fresh):
