We finally got a new development board, the NodeMCU ESP8266 V3 12-E board. In this video of the NodeMCU v3 tutorial, we see how to set up and connect the NodeMCU board to a computer an home wifi. We explain what ESP8266 is and how it's integrated into this board. We go into the Arduino IDE to install the ESP8266 board catalog. We then test the ESP826 board connection to the computer and see how it reacts to a simple LED blink code. Finally, we use our own SSID and password to get the NodeMCU board connected to wifi. Once we learn to setup up the NodeMCU v3 ESP8266 wifi module, we can explore this board with fun IOT projects. By connecting the ESP8266 12-E Development Board To Your Computer and Wifi, we will be able to access the board remotely.

thanks a lot, I have been searching for a step by step video that showed me how to connect NodeMCU to Wifi, I finally found yours . thank again .

“The driver is successfully pre-installed in advance”. How do I fix this?

[BMonsterLaboratory]

More future videos to come with this board. This video and code is also on Facebook #setupNodeMCU. Thank you for watching.

Good stuff, I enjoyed watching this. Not sure whereabouts I made mistake in my code. After I compile the code and open up the serial monitor, all I see is dot, which means it is not connected to WiFi. Could you please let me know your thoughts on this?

I am having problems making the connection from the Arduino IDE to the nodemcu 8266 12-E. In the dropdown, there is no com port choice to select from. I downloaded the ch340G driver twice, rebooted my pc, still no choice in the dropdown to select com port. I get message after compiling "Upload error: Failed Uploading: no upload port provided".

Excellent video, very helpful. Now that my ESP8266 has a valid IP on my WiFi network, when I try to connect to that IP address I get a "The Site Can't Be Reached" message... (IP Address) refused to connect. Any idea what the issue could be?

[Bianchi]

Well done, keep it up, thanks for sharing it with us :)

I'm new to this kind of stuff. I'm curious if this wifi thing has any practical purpose, other than as a fun thing to tinker with. If I hooked this wifi thing up to my Surface Pro 2 would it give me more powerful internet?

[naimaware]

I run the same code but I get this error ; too few arguments to function 'void digitalWrite(uint8_t, uint8_t)'

Hi . I have a prblem to connect this nodemcu esp8266 to arduino IED .. I paste the URL you told us . And when i opend the board manager and find the eso8266 community but it refused to download and gave me a message :
Faild to install platform: esp8266.
Error: 2 unknown: )
I will be thankful if you help me😊

[alvintechtv]

Good Day sir. Can I Get the COde Of Wifi?

[basiliodollie]

where's the code sir? i cant see your code sir..

[jimpugh]

Why specifically 220 ohm resistor please?

Hi This comment is not for this vedio I just wanted to know the problem in my Arudino.
It is showing that:


Arduino: 1.8.12 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Mega or Mega 2560, ATmega2560 (Mega 2560)"

In file included from sketch\Ping.ino.cpp:1:0:

C:\Users\Prajit
fatal error: pins_arduino.h: No such file or directory

#include "pins_arduino.h"



compilation terminated.

exit status 1
Error compiling for board Arduino Mega or Mega 2560.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.



Could you please help me with this
Hope this comment reaches you.

Too bad - linking the code to a social media site.
