One of the simplest way to program the ESP8266 chip on board EasyESP-1<\/a><\/strong> is\u00a0using the Arduino IDE. Following steps describe how to enable the ESP8266 support in the Arduino environment.<\/p>\n

Step 1 : Install\u00a0Arduino IDE<\/strong>
\nThe first step toward setting up the Arduino platform\u00a0for programming EasyESP-1 is to download and install the Arduino IDE. Go to the Arduino website<\/strong><\/a> and download Arduino IDE 1.6.11<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Install ESP8266\u00a0core package<\/strong>
\nNext step is to install the ESP8266 core<\/strong><\/a> for Arduino IDE. It\u00a0is an add-on that allows to write sketches for ESP8266 using the Arduino IDE \u00a0and its libraries. The easiest way to install the ESP8266 core is by typing in http:\/\/arduino.esp8266.com\/stable\/package_esp8266com_index.json<\/code>
\ninto Additional Board Manager URLs<\/em> field in the Arduino->\u00a0Preferences window (see figure below).<\/p>\n

Click OK<\/strong> and then go to Boards Manager<\/strong> and install the ESP8266 core. It appears at the end of the list as esp8266 by ESP8266 Community<\/strong> (see figure below). Select 2.3.0<\/strong> version from the dropdown list.<\/p>\n

\"Installing<\/a>

Step 3: Select the right board<\/strong>
\nNext you need to select NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)<\/strong> from Board<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/a>

Select NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Go to Tools<\/strong> and make sure the CPU Frequency<\/strong> is set to 80 MHz and Upload Speed<\/strong> to 115200. If not, change them to correct options.<\/p>\n

\"CPU<\/a>

CPU clock should be set to 80 MHz and Upload Speed to 115200<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Step 4: COM Port selection<\/strong>
\nFinally, you need to select the right COM port that your EasyESP board is connected to. Obviously, you need to connect the EasyESP-1 to the computer through a USB cable. If the driver\u00a0for SiLabs CP2102<\/strong><\/a> USB-UART device is installed properly, it will show up in the Arduino IDE Tools->Port<\/strong> list as a new serial port. In Windows machines it shows up as a new COMx port. The following figure shows how it appears on a MAC computer.\u00a0You should select the matching serial port for the CP2102 device on EasyESP from the Port list.<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/a>

Select the right serial port (MAC computer)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Now you are all set to write and upload your first ESP8266 program using the Arduino IDE.<\/p>\n
