I still have to unplug mine from the clock, though I'll admit that I haven't tried it plugged in. I'm not sure how the programmer and the level converter would interact if they are both fighting over the same pins.
An alternative is to use an ESP8266 board that has more flash, say 1MB, then you could use Over The Air programming. This is what I tried to do at first, but the ESP01 doesn't have enough flash. Basically your code needs to take up less than half the flash so you can load the new code into unused space and then switch to it. Googling ESP8266 OTA should get you a lot of hits. You can look at my code on https://github.com/judge2005/NCS314WiFi. I left the OTA code in, just ifdef'd out. It is very simple. > On Jan 24, 2017, at 9:16 AM, Mitch <mitc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks, Paul. I didn't put a header for programming the ESP on my clock, so I > have to remove it to program.
