How to connect ESP32-S Module to Raspberry Pi Zero?

[GeneralHUE]

Hello everyone,

I am quite a new user of Raspberry Pi and working on a project that needs wifi and Bluetooth. I have a Raspberry Pi Zero WH but while soldering an external antenna I damaged wifi and Bluetooth and they are not working.

I didn't want to buy a new one and I thought I can use ESP32-S Wifi + Bluetooth module to fix my problem. The module that I want to use is in the link below.

ESP32-S WiFi + Bluetooth module: https://www.waveshare.com/esp32-s.htm

The problem is I have no idea how to add that module to my Raspberry Pi Zero to use WiFi and Bluetooth. I have just made 3v3, GND, RX and TX connections between them but don't know how to flash ESP32-S with RPi and how to use that module to provide wifi and Bluetooth to my RPi.

I couldn't find much information about this module on the internet.

I would be so happy if anyone helps me with this problem.

I have tried and couldn't manage to do it. I think I had a problem with soldering my ESP32-S to the board. I got a new Pi, so problem is solved. Thank you for your help.
