The ESP01 is an ESP8266EX module integrated on a board (breakout) which allows you to add a WiFi connection to an Arduino project. It is a WiFi module equipped with 4 autonomous digital inputs / outputs (GPIO) which is programmed with Arduino code. The ESP01 version has 512MB of flash memory. The ESP-01S version has 1MB of flash memory. We can use the GPIO to drive a relay, take environmental measurements (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, etc.), display information on an SSD1306 OLED screen, etc.

ESP01 Programmer with integrated UART converter
The ESP01 is an ultra compact WiFi development board that does not have a UART to USB converter. It will therefore be necessary to manufacture an assembly to be able to upload a program from the Arduino IDE or PlatformIO. You will need an FTDI module listed below.
Wiring to put the ESP-01 module is in bootload mode.
The other solution is to buy a programmer that is equipped with a 3V3 stabilized power supply and a UART (serial port) to USB converter.
