Cannot flash Arduino R3 through ESP-Link

[OevreFlataeker]

I am using "esp-link v2.2.3 - 2016-06-21 21:58:48 - 1bcdc62", with a Wemos D1 ESP8266 v4 and am not able to flash a connected Arduino Uno R3 and cannot figure out what's the issue.

Flashing through Arduino IDE works without issues.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I've disconnected USB and connected RX, TX, GND, Reset and VCC (to VBus of Wemos) between the Arduino Uno R3 and the Wemos and can see the serial output from the Uno R3 on the esp-links' web console.

It prints "Reset!" during the setup() function and then "OnOffOnOff.." during the loop() function and blinks the LED.

When I click "Reset" on the web-console the MC resets and restarts the program without issue. ESP-link and Uno R3 are connected at 115200 baud.

When I try AVRdude I can never get the initial sync to complete:

As you can see from the "resp" bytes, avrdude seems to receive the serial output from the Arduino: 0x4f 0x64 = On
0x52 0x65 0x73 0x65 0x74 0x21 = "Reset!"....

During avrdude's connection attempt I can see the LED on the Arduino blinking a little bit faster then returning to normal.

There is no difference, no matter if I have esp-links MC console open or not.

GPIO 5 == D1 == SCL
I can see activity when the board should reset during connection setup.

ISP/Flash on GPIO 12 is NOT connected - I don't need that one, right?

I've also tried the HTTP Upload but can't get it to work either:
