NodeMCU on Arduino – Introduction

0 Comments

This tutorial of Robo India explains how to use NodeMCU on Arduino IDE.

1. Introduction:

The Node MCU is an open source firmware and development kit that helps you to prototype your IoT product with ArduinoIDE or in few Lau script lines.
It includes firmware which runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC. And hardware which is based on the ESP-12 module. In this tutorial we explain how to use NodeMCU with Arduino IDE.

2. How to Connect NodeMCU with Arduino IDE

  1. Open up the Arduino IDE.
  2. Go to File -> Preferences -> Additional Boards Manager URLs: http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json -> click OK
  3. Close the IDE and open it up again.
  4. Go to Tools -> Board (where you’d select your version of Arduino) -> Boards Manager, find the ESP8266 and click Install. You now should be able to use the ESP8266 as an Arduino. Simply select the NODEMCU 1.0 as your board with Port and you should be ready to code.

Now, with ESP8266 board installed to Arduino IDE, we can program NodeMCU using Arduino IDE directly.
