+title: Quick guide - Flashing an ESP8266
+---
+
+Get an FTDI, the Arduino IDE, add the ESP8266 plugin to the IDE.
+
+Then connect TX↔RX, RX↔TX, GND↔GND, VCC↔3V and CHPD↔3V.
+
+To enter the flashing mode, connect GPIO0↔GND. Then briefly touch RST↔GND.
+
+After flashing, disconnect GPIO0 from GND.
+
+RX and TX can later be used as GPIOs. The blue led is on when TX is low.
