01 - Install and Configure Arduino IDE 2.x.x in Window 11 with ESP8266 NodeMCU #linuxtopic

The ESP8266 is a microcontroller based low-cost Wi-Fi microchip with built-in TCP/IP networking software.

ESP8266 

It has Ten silica L106 32-bit RISC processor that achieves extra-low power consumption and reaches a maximum clock speed of 160 MHz

Here, I have used this is chip for extending a Wi-Fi Signal in poor Wi-Fi zone, below is the details 

Project - WiFi Extender 

OS - Window 11 

Board - ESP8266 NodeMCU

Wi-Fi Card - ESP8266MOD 802.11b/g/n

Cable - Micro USB DATA Cable 

Application:  Arduino IDE 2.1.1

Lets get started our project 

Hardware: 

ESP8266 Node MCU Board buy from Amazon.in 

Software: 

Download: 

Official Website: www.arduino.cc

Open Arduino Website and Click on SOFTWARE 

You can download based on your operation system, here i have window11 and im downloading a zip file, you can also download a installer file and install into the window. 

Direct like of Zip : https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-ide/arduino-ide_2.1.1_Windows_64bit.zip

Once download, right click on zip file and extract it 

Go to the extracted directory and open the application by double click 

Application has been open

In the next step, we will setup the board

1 - Connect your ESP8266 NodeMCU to your computer using USB  DATA Cable 

2 - Install ESP8266 NodeMCU Add-on in Arduino IDE

File --> Preferences and scroll down and paste the below url

Json URL - http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

Press - OK 

3 - Select the Board from Drop-down box, click on "Select other board and port"

            Select - NodeMCU 1.0 ( ESP-12E Module ) and COM port  

Note:   Here I have only one connected device

4 - Click "Yes" to install ESP-12E Module, it will take a while 

 Go to Tools --> Board -> Boards Manager 

Search  ESP8266 Board and click on Install button, it will take a time to install 

5 - Select the Board and port 

    Go to the Tools --> Board -->  esp8266 --> NodeMCU 1.0 ( ESP 12E Module ) 

We can see the details 

    Go to Tools --> Port and select the COM Port 

Enjoy!! Now your Arduino is ready to use 

Thanks you !!
