ESP8266 install Arduino IDE 1 & 2 in 90 seconds

install in Arduino IDE 1:

Alright, I am gonna show you how to set up Arduino IDE 1.0 to use the ESP8266. This is really pretty simple. So if you’re on a PC, you’re gonna go to File, Preferences. If you’re on a Mac, you’ll go to Arduino, Preferences. It opens up this little window. And then in this block down here where it says additional board manager URLs, you’re gonna paste this URL right here. I will have this URL in the description. You just stick it right in there. If you already have some other board managers in here, all you have to do is put a comma and then you can paste it after. So these are just commas separated URLs. That’s it. Then you hit okay. Then what we’re gonna do is open up the board Manager. You go to Tools and you go to Board, Boards Manager. Then just search for ESP8266. It shows up here, click Install. Once it says the installation is complete, you can hit Close. And now when you go to Tools, Board, you should see another folder that says ESP8266 Boards. And then you just select the one, the model that you have. So right now I’ve got the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH. And then you select your port. So whichever port it might be hooked up to. And that’s it. You’re ready to go. Well, I hope you found this helpful. If you did, please subscribe to our channel. We put out tons of great videos about using Arduino and ESP32 and 8266 boards. If you enjoyed the video, please like it. And if you have any questions, just write it right in the comment. I do my very best to answer all the questions. And finally, hey, if you want to get started programming and prototyping with Arduino, learning how to code, check out programmingelectronics.com, where we dive into all the details about coding with Arduino. It’s a really fantastic membership program. You can check it out at programmingelectronics.com. Take it easy, bye.

install in Arduino IDE 2:

I’m gonna show you how to set up the Arduino IDE 2.0 for using ESP8266 boards. It’s really quite simple. First, go up to Arduino IDE Preferences. If you’re on a PC, that’s gonna be under File Preferences. Once you go to Preferences, this window shows up and down at the bottom, there’s a place where it says Additional Board Manager URLs. Now I already have a URL in here, but all I have to do is add a comma. And then I’m going to paste in this URL right here, which be in the description. So you just paste that in there. Again, if there’s already another URL in there, maybe for an ESP32, you just add a comma and paste it. If there’s nothing else in there, just paste in that URL by itself and then click OK. Once you’ve done that, now what you can do is come over to this side menu where it says Boards Manager. It looks like a little Arduino board. And search for esp8266. And you’ll see esp8266 by ESP8266 Community. Click Install. Once it’s successfully installed, it says Installed up in the corner. And now when you go up to Tools, Board, you’ll see that there’s a folder for ESP8266 with a bunch of different model names in here. So I’ve got the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 hooked up, so I’ll just select that. And then I can select the port. I happen to know it’s this one. And now I’m set to go using ESP8266’s on Arduino IDE 2.0. well, I hope you found this helpful.
