Can I use arduino IDE to program this borad

I want to program this esp8266 board https://robu.in/product/dc7-80-5v-power-supply-esp8266-wifi-single-channel-30a-relay-module-esp-12f/ I don't understand which IDE to use to program it.

I have searched on the internet but I didn't find useful information

Probably. The page says:

Programming port: ESP8266’s GND, RX, TX, 5V are respectively connected to the GND, TX, RX, 5V of the external TTL serial port module. IO0 needs to be connected to GND when downloading, and then disconnect the connection between IO0 and GND after the download is complete

Which is "standard" programming technique for ESP8266 boards, and implies that the needed pins ARE available to be attached to. You'll need a USB/Serial converter and a switch to do the IO0 manipulation, and it may not support "automatic" reset and upload when you you use the Arduino IDE button, but it should work with a little effort.

It's probably not the best "intro to using ESP8266 with Arduino" sort of board, though.

so It can be program by Arduino IDE

This is my connection, Is it right ?

ESP8266:-------------- >Arduino:

VCC -------------------------- 5V

TXD -------------------------- TX

RXD -------------------------- RX

ID0 -------------------------- GND

GND -------------------------- GND

GND -------------------------- GND

The lines need to be crossed (Tx to Rx) if you use an USB to Serial Adapter not an arduino to program.

You could probably use an Arduino but it’s more efforts - a way around would probably be to take a UNO and remove the 328P but the adapter is straightforward. Look for «FT232RL 3.3V 5.5V FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter»

They don’t say if the IOs are 5V tolerant, it’s not the case for an ESP12 usually so careful on the module’s Rx line

To flash the board: flash= GPIO0 to GND, reset , then upload

Yes. It supports Arduino IDE.

I shown connection for Arduino Uno.

Uno used as a Serial adapter then (as per the link)
