Hi @dkemxr ,
Will below ESP8266 work on Kakute Mini F7? I am re-purposing a 90mm whoop as a development platform and would like to connect to AP for configuration and short autonomous missions.

Also, do you flash the ESP board with the firmware as decribed on Ardupilot Wiki

The ESP8266 WiFi module will, I don’t know about that USB adapter. I use an FTDI adapter.
Yes, that procedure. The bottom of this page has a helpful connection illuistration.

Thanks very kindly @dkemxr. Looking forward to explore this new avenue for Mavlink communication. I have only used SiK radios so far.
