🛠 Arduino IDE Setup
1️⃣ Add ESP8266 Board Support
-
Open Arduino IDE
-
Go to File → Preferences
-
Add this URL to Additional Boards Manager URLs:
-
Open Tools → Board → Boards Manager
-
Install ESP8266 by ESP8266 Community
2️⃣ Board Settings
Select:
-
Board: LOLIN (Wemos) D1 mini
-
Flash Size: 4M (1M SPIFFS)
-
CPU Frequency: 80 MHz
-
Upload Speed: 115200
-
Port: (your COM port)
🧪 1️⃣ Basic Blink Test (Onboard LED)
✔ Confirms board, USB, and IDE setup are working
✔ LED is active LOW
🌐 2️⃣ WiFi Connection Example
🌍 3️⃣ Simple Web Server Example
✔ Type the ESP8266 IP address into your browser
✔ Great first IoT demo
📡 4️⃣ Read Analog Voltage (A0)
⚠ A0 max input is 3.3 V (some boards include a divider — check before using)
🧠 Tips & Best Practices
✔ Avoid using GPIO0, GPIO2, GPIO15 incorrectly at boot
✔ Use external power for relays, motors, and servos
✔ Use pull-ups on I²C (D1/D2 already have them)
✔ Keep WiFi antennas clear of metal enclosures
