Get started in Arduino

• CH340G driver(for D1/D1 mini/D1 mini Lite)
• CP2104 driver(for D1 mini Pro)
• Python 2.7

Install Arduino IDE from the Arduino website.

There are two ways to install Hardware package. It is recommended to use git version.

• Clone repository into Sketchbook_directory/hardware/esp8266com/esp8266 directory (or clone it elsewhere and create a symlink), you may need to create the hardware directory if it does not exist.

• cd hardware
  mkdir esp8266com
  cd esp8266com
  git clone https://github.com/wemos/Arduino_D1.git esp8266

• You should end up with the following directory structure:

• ─┬ Arduino
   └─┬ hardware
     └─┬ esp8266com
       └─┬ esp8266
         ├── bootloaders
         ├── cores
         ├── doc
         ├── libraries
         ├── package
         ├── tests
         ├── tools
         ├── variants
         ├── platform.txt
         ├── programmers.txt
         ├── README.md
         ├── boards.txt
         ├── LICENSE

• Download binary tools(You need Python 2.7)

• cd esp8266/tools
  python get.py

• Restart the Arduino IDE

• Start Arduino and open Preferences window.
• Enter

  into Additional Board Manager URLs field. You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas.

• Open Boards Manager from Tools > Board menu and install esp8266 platform.

After install hardware package, you will see WEMOS boards in the Tools→Board:xxx Choose your right board.
