• Description:
In this video tutorial I show you how to write custom firmware for the ESP8266 (ESP-12E) Serial to Wi-Fi module using the Arduino IDE. The development board includes the ESP-12E module and a USB to Serial UART interface, which tremendously facilitates programming the ESP8266! Below are relevant links as mentioned in the video.

==========
• Project code:
Download the Arduino IDE from:
arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
Download the USB drivers for the USB to Serial UART module:
silabs.com/products/development-tools/software/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers
Enter the following URL into the "Additional Board Manager URLs" field in the preferences menu of the IDE:
arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
Note: Remember that you can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas!
