In this video I will show the best way to program an ESP01 module, no need to press buttons, just upload and use serial monitor to debug as if it was a NodeMCU or Arduino Nano! I got the idea from this video from Miika Kurkela: • #7 Flash ESP-01 easily with your NodeMCU
Link which shows how to set up ESP8266 boards in the Arduino IDE:
