- Mon Feb 18, 2019 12:56 pm #80642 I 'll be using Arduino IDE.
If it's so easy then I 'll use GPIO10 and DIO mode! (if there is no objection)

But I see in this video this guy is using different pins with FTDI:
CH_PD to 3.3V
GPIO15 to GND
GPIO0 to GND
TX to FTDI's RX
RX to FTDI's TX
FTDI's to GND

The earlier connections you showed with the DTR to GPIO_0 is to support auto reset where as this simpler wiring you'll need to manual disconnect/reconnect the 3.3v line to reset the ESP and put it in flashing mode.
