ESP8266 - Arduino IDE Programming + Upload Errors & LOW Current Sleep!
MORE TIPS IN HERE
I made this video because I myself had issues uploading to the ESP8266 from the Arduino IDE as well as achieving low sleep currents. Here, I'll show you exactly how to get the Arduino IDE setup, talk about common sources of upload errors, and get into deep sleeping the module. I'm able to achieve ~20uA of sleep current! and I might even be able to beat that!

Other tips:
""try adding a big capacitor across 3.3V and GND, like 100uF"
