Yes, this is changed recently. Now you have to create an empty PLC program, click on the Arduino symbol in the taskbar, and select the correct board (ESP8266) and the correct COM-port. Next, enable Modbus TCP; here you can write an IP address (set it the same as in OpenPLC runtime). Then press upload. I don't have the hardware to test it myself at the moment. Can you reply if this was the correct solution?
@@seafoxc thank you very much for the prompt reply. I tested it, The esp communicates normally, but something is happening with the inputs and outputs that I have defined in the ladder. But I think i will fix it.
There is a new method to download the firmware. You have to upload an empty OpenPLC project to the ESP8266 board => openplcproject.com/docs/2-6-slave-devices/. I'm now on vacation abroad, but I will make a new updated video when I'm home.
@@YigalBZ I will look into it when I'm home after my Holliday because I now don't have access to OpenPLC. I guess the firmware on the esp8266 assigns a static IP adress. In 10 days or so I will come back to this topic. Either way I did not had any issues in the past. I also have to make a new video for connecting with the esp8266 because of the new release of OpenPLC.
The information is written in the top blog post here: openplc.discussion.community/post/openplc-native-support-for-arduino-boards-in-beta-11984879?pid=1332015367. I also made a video where I downloaded the traffic light directly to the Arduino Uno. It is all the same procedure for the ESP chip (ESP8266 and ESP32). This is still in Beta so there could be bugs.

Looking forward to see more content in this subject.
Nice video 🔥, keep it up man 😁🙌
i tried it working beautifully
Amazing video.
very good job , link for ino file doesn't work ... can you share an altarnative ?

@@seafoxc finally i fixed it , it was hardware problem. Work as expected !! Thank you again !!!
Just so you know a few seconds after blocking your SSID and password, they were visible after adding your board
Thanks to let me know! I chnged the password.
Hello. Where i can download the firmware for esp8266? The link is not working.

@@seafoxc Thank you.
What if the IP of the ESP is changing when you re-boot?
The IP address is static so you don't have any issues (never had any issues with my esp8266 projects so far).
@@seafoxc The IP address is given by the router, so it may be used by other device, unless you configured the router for static IP.

Sir can you tell how to download nodemcu bootloader...or with out bootloader can we install PLC program
page not found :(
ESP works as slave device so without computer it can not work as Plc.
With the latest version of OpenPLC it is possible to download code directly to the ESP chips( not shown in this video). Just for your information :-).
@@seafoxc where can i find information?
