Hey so I'm a noob and am trying to connect my Arduino Uno to my wifi with an ESP8266 ESP-01S (I've attached to pinout below)
I've downloaded the ESP8266 board for the IDE and have connected the ESP to my Arduino board as:
VCC - 3.3V
CH_EN - 3.3V
RX - TX
TX - RX
GND - GND
Here is my code:
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println();
WiFi.begin("Wifi-address", "Wifi-Password");
Serial.print("Connecting");
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED)
{
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println();
Serial.print("Connected, IP address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}
void loop() {}
yet whenever i try to upload the code, I get the error message :
Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows 10), Board: "Generic ESP8266 Module, 80 MHz, Flash, Legacy (new can return nullptr), All SSL ciphers (most compatible), dtr (aka nodemcu), 26 MHz, 40MHz, DOUT (compatible), 1MB (FS:64KB OTA:~470KB), 2, nonos-sdk 2.2.1+100 (190703), v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 115200"

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
