ESP-01 pinout

• all IO is 3.3V (3.6V max)
• CH_PD i chip-enable and has to be connected to VCC (3.3V)
• RST, GPIO0, GPIO2 should be pulled up to VCC for normal operation (GPIO0 at minumum!)
• GPIO0 pull to ground for firmware update
• make sure that 3.3V VCC power supply can support 300-400mA or there WILL be problems!

One quirk with the ESP-201 is that is IO15 has to be grounded for the device to function. To flash the device IO00 has to be grounded.
