Re: Programming via Esp8266?

Good ideas!
I would prefer the one with the modified bootloader, cause it does not depend on a working sketch on the Arduino. So it 's more failsafe (for me, this is important, cause some of my modules will be integrated)
Why you need the transistor in the 2nd solution? I think you can directly jump to the bootloader from the main program.
And if i remember correctly, the esp firmware also listens to magic bytes in the transparent mode (+++) - so this could lead to a nice debugging session...
