  • 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.

pinout

My sonoff is early model, with just 4 pins (instead of 5)

1 - VCC
2 - RX
3 - TX
4 - GND

Programming

use dio not qio to fix checksum errors

CH340 USB to ESP8266 ESP-01 Wifi Module Adapter

It doesn't have GPIO0 connected to ground, so flashing doesn't work!

adding IR led

Button is connected to RST, and if you want to add IR led (with transistor and resistor) it seems that only
way to make it work is to connect it to RX pin (gpio3). For more info see my blog post: https://blog.rot13.org/2019/08/emulate-ir-remote-for-tv-or-hvac-from-command-line-using-tasmota.html
