Setting up nodeMCU
If you don't see the nodeMCU port listed in your IDE, you need to install Silab drivers (CP2102 chip) on your computer. www.silabs.com/
If you don't see the nodeMCU board type, you need to install nodeMCU Arduino library. ("Tools->Boards->Board Manager" look for esp8266).
- Start your Arduino IDE on your computer and connect your nodeMCU to your computer with the USB cable
- Make sure the nodeMCU port shows up under "Tools->Ports" as "SLAB_USBtoUART" device. Select that port.
- Select the correct board type "Tools->Board->NodeMCU 0.9 (ESP -12Module)"
- Make sure your setup is correct. Select "Tools->Get board info". You should see a reply in a small window.
- Open "Examples->Basics->Blink" sketch. Compile and upload. The LED on your nodeMCU should blink every second.
