  • @user118421 thanks for giving this all a go - the USB-TTL converter will definitely be the easiest way to get this working.

    You mentioned you bought an ESP01 as well? You could try wiring that up to Pixl.js with some jumper cables, and that will likely work straight away.

    @allObjects Bluetooth LE UART doesn't appear as a device in MacOS/Linux, so unfortunately what you're proposing won't work :( You could go to https://espruino.github.io/EspruinoWebID­E/, open up https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoTool­s/blob/master/core/flasherESP8266.js#L10­7-L131 in the Chrome Devtools and change the pin names, then run the flasher...

    Also, Pixl.js doesn't have a voltage regulator that's specced to be powerful enough to handle powering an ESP866 directly (hence why I'd suggested the board). However it's unlikely to cause any problems - it might just not work reliably. Could you actually get a WiFi connection on it? That's great news if so - it makes life far easier.
