It is generally a good idea to upgrade your firmware for bug fixes and also depending on the functionalities needed from the ESP module, a more complete set of supported AT commands might be required.

This tutorial also explains how to restore or flash original Espressif firmware if you happen to mess up your ESP firmware, for example, through some wrong AT commands.

This is what happened when i tried to change the default baud rate from 115200 to 9600.

I used the following command (based on a quick Google search): ATIPR9600 This bricked the ESP-01 module.

Caution: Based on my experience, i would highly advise not to use the command ATIPR to change your baud rate as it will most likely require you to re-flash your firmware.

However, there are many different variants of the ESP-01 module with different flash size and factory firmware version, so your experience might vary.

The ESP-01 module is not 5 V-compliant and requires 3.3 V to power it but also to work properly on the logic level.

To communicate with the computer, the module additionally needs a USB to serial converter.

So, instead of using a voltage converter and a USB to serial adapter, i decided to opt for a simpler solution.

Since i already have an Arduino UNO, i used the latter to power the ESP-01 module and establish communication between the ESP-01 and the computer, effectively operating as a serial bridge.

Supplies: ESP-01 module Arduino UNO (with USB cable) Jumper DuPont wires Breadboard Add Tip Ask Question Comment Download Step 1: Wire Connections The wire connections with the Arduino UNO and ESP-01 module can be made easily using jumper cables and a breadboard.

The connections between the Arduino development board and the ESP module are described in the table.

The RX and TX connections are not reversed in this case, since the communication is not happening between the Arduino and ESP module but between the ESP and the computer.

So, in this case, the Arduino UNO board is used as a serial bridge via its on-board USB to serial converter.

The RX pins connection between the Arduino board and the ESP module should be made through a voltage divider, since the ESP-01 operates on 3.3 V logic level and receiving 5 V logic level from the Arduino UNO could damage the ESP module.

You can build a simple 3.3 V voltage divider using only 2 resistors as shown in the figure.

Caution: For my setup, i just wired the RX pins directly (not advisable) and everything worked, but if you decide to forego the logic level conversion, proceed at your own risk To establish a common Ground connection, the Arduino UNO Ground pin is connected to the ESP module Ground pin.

The Arduino UNO is used to provide 3.3 V power directly to the ESP modules VCC pin.

Connect the 3.3 V pin to the breadboard using a jumper wire, since the 3.3 V will be used not only for the ESPs VCC pin but also the ESPs CHPD pin to enable the ESP chip.

The table figure shows the full set of connections for firmware flashing but at this stage, do not connect the ESPs Reset and GPIO0 pins since we will only be reading the firmware information in the next step.

Here is the serial output for my ESP-01 (your ESP module might not show exactly the same information as it depends on the specific model and release date): ATGMR.
