Get started in Arduino
Requirements
- CP2104 driver(for D1 mini Pro)
- Python 2.7
Install Arduino
Install Arduino IDE from the Arduino website.
Installing Hardware package
There are two ways to install Hardware package. It is recommended to use git version.
Using 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
Using Boards Manager
- 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.
Configure Board
After install hardware package, you will see WEMOS boards in the Tools→Board:xxx Choose your right board.
