• Description:
In this video tutorial I show you how to load a specific firmware to the ESP8266 (ESP-12E), which allows you to program it using the JavaScript programming language. You'll need to have your ESP8266 Development Board set up on your computer, which I cover in another video (youtube.com/watch?v=G6CqvhXpBKM). Please find below the relevant links as mentioned in the video.

Flashing commands are also available here:

The Espruino firmware for ESP8266 is rapidly evolving. The Pin class is now deprecated and you can use D4 or for the Development Board, NodeMCU.D2 for referring to GPIO4:

Pyserial is a module needed to run the tool 'esptool' to flash firmware onto the ESP8266. Download from:
github.com/pyserial/pyserial
Esptool is a tool written in Python that allows us to flash firmware onto the ESP8266 IC over an USB connection:
