CHAPTER 3: SETUP
Now that we have all the prerequisites ready we need to set everything together.
3.1 Hardware setup
3.1 Hardware setup
The layout hardware connections that we are interested can be found on the next page.
The hardest part of the connection is probably connecting the USB<->serial cable to the UEXT connector
of ESP8266-EVB. The important part here is to connect the GND of the cable to the GND pin (#2) of the
UEXT connector. Then TXD of the cable to RXD of the UEXT (#4). Finally, RXD of the cable to TXD of the
UEXT (#3).
For connecting the USB<->serial cable we are interested only in pins #2, #3 and #4.
