I just got this board today, and I can't figure out how to get the Arduino and the Shield to talks or figure out how to rewrite the web server

There are plenty, but one I've played with and didn't get any headache to connect was the Wemos D1 Mini.

As I said earlier, it is question of TX/RX wiring to switch back and forth between ATMega328 and USB-TTL Uart.
I didn't found the schematic of the board, but at least, I found this page about those connection :

In my searches lastnight, I ran across a tidbit that may help, but I haven't had a chance to test it out yet. It mentioned tying the RES pin of the Arduino to Gnd, while you're trying to talk to the ESP8266. I found it amongst about a dozen different pages I was reading lastnight trying to solve this problem.

Interesting, what pin is the RST pin , do I put it on the ardino side or the ESP side of shield
