Preparation of Arduino IDE to program NodeMCU(ESP8266)

Software required:

1. Ardunio IDE and Windows PC

Before using Arduino IDE for NodeMCU, first add the ESP8266 board manager in the Board menu.

• Open Arduino IDE , Click on file menu and click on preferences, in settings menu on Additional Board manager url - Add the following line textbox.http://arduino.esp8266.com/versions/2.4.0/package_esp8266com_index.json. then click OK.

• After that you add Board manager in Board menu - in Arduino IDE , tools menu click Board and then click Board manager - type esp8266 in text box and Esp8266 library file listed on below box then click install.Finishing close the Boardmanger. That all your Arduino IDE is ready to Program NodeMCU.

• In ArduinoIDE, click on tools menu and drag the mouse on Board and sub menu open, in this menu you found NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP12 E Module).
