ESP01 unsuccessful code execution

Question

I am trying to upload the Blink example from the Arduino IDE to a ESP8266-01 module using an Arduino Uno as serial programmer. Now, the upload is successful but, upon restart (and disconnecting GPIO0 from GND), nothing happens.
I have tried with different example sketches but it seems code was not uploaded.

My Board manager configuration

• Board: Generic ESP8266 Module
• Flash mode: QIO
• Flash frequency: 40 MHz
• CPU frequency: 80 MHz
• Flash size: 1M (128K SPIFFS)
• Debug port: Serial
• Debug level: none
• Reset method: ck (tried nodemcu too without success)
• Upload speed: 115200
• USB port

As an addition, here's what I get from the ESP01 through the Arduino IDE Serial monitor:

load 0x4010f000, len 1384, room 16 
tail 8
chksum 0x2d
csum 0x2d

and here's the IDE console window output:

The sketch I am using

void setup() {
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);     // Initialize the LED_BUILTIN pin as an output
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);   // Turn the LED on (Note that LOW is the voltage level
                                    // but actually the LED is on; this is because 
                                    // it is acive low on the ESP-01)
  delay(1000);                      // Wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);  // Turn the LED off by making the voltage HIGH
  delay(2000);                      // Wait for two seconds (to demonstrate the active low LED)
}

Answer 1

If you are using an ESP01 I don't think you should be using GPIO1 as the output pin, its my understanding that they don't have GPIO1.

I think they have GPIO0 and GPIO2, so you should have attached the LED to GPIO2 and use digitalWrite(2, HIGH); in you code.

Have a look at this page and see if what its on about is what you are trying to do.
