Connecting Anet A8 to ESP Boards

Anet boards up to v1.5

Step 1

You will also have to unsolder the resistors R52 and R53 they are zero ohm resistors, and serve no other purpose than connecting the atmega chip directly to the onboard USB to UART converter (the CH340 chip). Do it VERY careful you dont want to damage your board. If you dont feel confident dont do it.

Step 2

Now prepare the printers motherboard. It requires a simple modification, that does not interfere with its operation afterwards just solder 3 pin x 2 row male header on J8, and add 2 jumpers (or jumper wires) as shown on the picture:

Step 3

Connect the ESP to J3 repsecting pinout

For connecting version 1.7 Anet boards

Unlike older boards this board does not require you to remove any resistors.
You will have to solder two wires from number 9 and number 10 its recommender to connect these to pin 1 and 2 of J3 connector.
