Here you go.
Wire it up just like the schematic. The pictures will help too, but the esp covers the placement of some of the resistors. you can also use a 10uf capacitor on the power supply to help add a little extra power to your esp if it keeps reseting at start up, but its not necessary.
It took me 3-4 days of reading to finally get this too work. So I'm eager to share it with someone else. And yes, I know this post is a little old, but maybe somebody else will come along that will need this info
.
I learned a lot from reading this book on the ESP8266 by Neil Kolban.
http://neilkolban.com/tech/esp8266/I initially downloaded a free copy, but was so happy when I finally got it to work that I went back and paid the $5 for it. I would recommend you contribute to Neil Kolban as well if this helps you
.
Also, here's a webpage that will help you flash the firmware. I bricked my ESP-01 and was able to get full function back after following these instructions.

FINAL NOTE: To put the ESP-01 in "Flash" mode you need to hold down the GPIO0 button (in the wiring I posted above). While holding down the GPIO0 button give the RESET button a quick push. The ESP-01 should restart. Wait another second and then let go of the GPIO0 button. You should be read to flash the ESP-01. If you still have trouble take The GPIO0 wire and connect it directly to GROUND.
