Add Wifi to SKR Pro step by step

I really had trouble finding all the pieces required. I am doing this for an MPCNC with SKR Pro V1.2 with TFT35 E3 V3.0 running dual endstop V1 firmware V515. Just works!!! First you need an ESP-01S like this (note: ESP-01 has less memory than ESP-01S so make sure you have an…
