To program ESPs, you need a USB-UART adapter and have to connect some pins to VCC and/or GND when powering on. To simplify this for ESP01 modules, I bought an "ESP programmer" a while ago, into which you can simply plug the module. Unfortunately, it doesn't program the module, because there's no control electronics to hold the pins correctly—you have to pull the pins out yourself with tweezers or something similar. There's a better way to do this, so we'll add an automatic programming function.
