Configure Arduino IDE for ESP8266 NodeMCU and LED Blink Example

When the power of ESP and simplicity of Arduino comes together we can create magic. Lets see how we can do this. The port for ESP8266 is created by ESP Community , which we can imagine require tremendous amount of work. Thank you guys. Video Tutorial  They have posted a link to get the configuration for Arduino here http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json Copy the link  http://arduino.esp8266.com/versions/2.5.0-beta1/package_esp8266com_index.json In the Arduino IDE open preferences find input field Additional Board Manager URLs and paste the link there and click OK to close the window. Open Board Manager from Tools -> Board -> Board Manager Search for esp8266 -> Install the one by ESP community Done, Now you can create your first project using ESP8622

Internet-Controlled RC Car

The Internet Controlled RC Car allows you to remotely drive around a small rc car from wherever you may be and see where it is going. This is fun because you can remote explore whatever space you leave it in, or hand over the keys - so to speak - and allow someone to drive around your space. This is also a great building block for a telepresence robot. This project is also a great beginner project for someone who has made a few simple things and is looking to get slightly deeper into the world of microcontrollers. It starts to incorporate more advanced skills like circuit building and networking, but is not dauntingly complex. Read More
