How to Setup and Program NodeMCU ESP8266–Complete Guide

Let’s learn how to setup and program NodeMCU ESP8266 using Arduino IDE. We’ll connect NodeMCU ESP8266 with laptop using MicroUSB cable. And then install ESP8266 specific software packages using board manager in arduino software. This will let us select NodeMCU1.0 ESP-12E module while programming NodeMCU in tools section. And finally, we’ll write arduino program to blink on board led on NodeMCU ESP8266 which is D4 Pin.

Everyone can learn easily the way you explained, thanks you billion times, you are the kindest of all. Now I will give it a try.

Awesome video brother. It was really amazing, actually it was so nice, that I completed the task while watching the video, even my LED started blinking with yours (shown in the video) 😁😁😁😁 more power to you.

Amazing tutorial brother. Really appreciate how simple you made this!

Big shoutout, this is by far the clearest video on this topic.

Found this page very useful I have learnt about this and succesfully installed my first nodeMCU espn8266. Now it is time to play with it. Thanks Bro.

[fancykiptoo]

Thank you so much, The video assisted me to locate NodeMCU8266

[ntejonah]

Great way to start Esp8266 design, God bless you more

[dembashow]

The only video that worked for me so far thanks maan

I am using ESP WROOM-02 is there no need to flash it using toolkit firmware? Can I directly code it using arduino IDE?

[TharakaChamath]

thanks for the vid great job i just got the board & search for this

[meqdaddev]

Thanks for strait to the point tutorial.

[wandasukmadewiwandasukmade]

Thank you so much, sir! It help me much 😇

[girish]

Thank you so much brother, it's very helpful. i did the installation and initial checks as per your guidance.

[homamzituni]

Thank you sir. I could not get my board to work until I cam across this video.

[adityasoni]

you came as maqsood bhai in our life for our project so i want to give you jadoo ki jhapii (hug)
thank you for helping us 😊

I have never had success with the ESP and Arduino IDE in 5 years. Concentrating mostly on RaspberryPi Pico, Waveshare RP2040-One, Zero, Plus w/ LCD, Microchip PICs, Nucleo-STM32 boards with Armmite, a tube of NXP LPC800 an 8 pin DIP Arm Cortex-M0+, STM8 chips running 8 bit eForth. Your instructions made it so easy for such a normally frustrating installation. Now lets see if the Arduino GIGA R1 arriving tomorrow is this simple.

Your explanation cant be more simple...
You have said it all

[vijaysulakhe]

Excellent explanation and video, many THANKS. Hope you make video about STM32 projects with Arduino IDE.
