Hi,
is it possible to upload sketch to esp d1 through RX TX that connected to Atmega 2560 RX1 TX1?
if so how that can be achieved?
best regards
Sayed
it is was me... Connect the Board's RESET pin to GND before to attempt to program the ESP + jumper wires from RX->RX1 and TX-> TX1

@sherzaad ,he doesn't ask about Arduino Mega (no need to hold the ATmega in reset. any sketch without Serial.begin() is OK)
@Sayed, maybe you want this?: Arduino + ESP8266 with EspProxy (develop without rewiring) - Project Guidance - Arduino Forum
I think we need a detailed explanation of what you're trying to accomplish. Usually when someone asks about this sort of thing they are just trying to use their Arduino board as a USB to TTL serial adapter to program the ESP from the computer. However, you say "esp d1", which makes me think of the WeMos D1 boards that already have a USB to TTL serial adapter on board.
thanks all,
actually i need to use WeMos D1 as WiFi for atmega 2560, i have connect rx to tx1 and tx to rx1 of mega,
i have solder the WeMos D1 under atmega so it is not possible for me to program it by USB, so i need to use
atmega 2560 to program the WeMos D1 through rx tx pins

i believed it is what i looks for but little hard to understand, i am trying to understanding.

That sounds a little silly, i always keep my boards detachable from the circuit using male & female header pins

If you could help me dear in this, if i connect the pins that described, then what configuration
i should select in arduino ide after uploading the SlaveForEspFirmata.ino to Atmega 2560
and where to put the actual sketch that need to upload to esp
thanks again,
Best regards,
Sayed

the EspProxy sketch is an enhancement of the SerialPassthrough example. you can start with that.
modify the SerialPassthrough sketch to use at least 38400 baud.
upload it to Mega and then open the sketch for Wemos, select Wemos and upload to it
where i can find the CH_EN pin in the Wemos D1 mini, i figure out that D3 is for GPIO0 but CH_EN not clear for me

use RST pin (over a level shifter)
i had upload the bellow code to atmega 2560 and connecting the esp pins through level shiftier,
then i set the sketch setting to normal esp programming setting and upload the sketch of esp
but it fails giving this error
warning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed

try to reset the Mega before Upload to esp8266. and look at Wemos LEDs if it resets while setup() of the EspProxy sketch runs.
make some tests if the reset works. put some blinking sketch into Wemos and a sketch reseting the Wemos on command from Serial Monitor
i had checked it is not blinking except if reset manually by reset button,
i test this
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(45, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(45, LOW);
}void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(45, HIGH);
delay(5000);
digitalWrite(45, LOW);}
light blinking in esp

make the control of reset and io 0 work. I can't help you with it from here. You can try it without level shifting. The code in Mega doesn't set the pins HIGH. For me the reset worked only with level conversion. Maybe because the pull-up on Wemos is very 'weak' and can't 'hold' both pins. You can try to set the pin to INPUT_PULLUP after reset. The 5 V pull-up shouldn't be a problem for the esp8266 pin. But make sure, you don't set the Mega pins wired to esp8266 HIGH.
Hi,
i notice that when i switch between pins the esp LED blink when i reset atmega 2560
i mean this part the pin numbers
#define ESP_ENABLE_PIN 44
#define ESP_GPIO0_PIN 45
where 44 pin connected to U3 on esp and 45 to RST
uploading setting in the attached photo
the sequence of pin actions in setup() of EspProxy is a reset of esp8266 with io 0 low at boot.
pulling RST low for same milliseconds and then releasing it to let the pull-up resistor pull it HIGH should reset the esp8266.
test it
to get the esp8266 to flashing mode the io 0 must be low at boot. io 0 has a pull-up resistor on Wemos. we pull io 0 LOW while the esp8266 is in reset so after we let the chip boot in goes into flashing mode. the we can let the io 0 go HIGH by the pull-up resistor
test if you can pull-down the io 0 with ATmega. for example with a sketch that lights the LED if io 0 is LOW
thanks very much,
i have the following test,
i change the pins mode to output and pull low then high as your guidance,
and not success initially, but after that i notice that some time the esp led flashing
so i try to hold on atmega reset button then when sketch of esp start to upload i release it
it program successfully,
any way get automaticly?
the following code that i change
void resetESP(boolean toBootloader) {
if (toBootloader) {
pinMode(ESP_GPIO0_PIN, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ESP_GPIO0_PIN, LOW);
}
pinMode(ESP_ENABLE_PIN, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ESP_ENABLE_PIN, LOW);
delay(5);
digitalWrite(ESP_ENABLE_PIN, HIGH);
if (toBootloader) {
delay(100);
digitalWrite(ESP_GPIO0_PIN, HIGH);
}
}
and full sketch is

try to use the automatic version by commenting out the #define FLASHING
use </> for code not Quote. it is hard to read
i have try but not success
when i open serial i could see command on Arduino ide i can see some characters
