ESP8266 NodeMCU & Arduino IDE 2.3.2 (2024) in Simple steps

hello everyone welcome today let's enjoy the activity of an smart obstacle avoidance car now it's time to find the microcontroller that's behind the smart obstacle avoidance car if you look at the microcontroller it's ESP 8266 node MCU so if you are planning to start your yot journey with a microcontroller board then I think esp8266 node MCU is the best one why first of all this is the cheapest microcontroller you can have you can purchase this microcontroller within 150 rupees in Indian currency in terms of power you have already gone through the capability of ESP 8266 node MCU board through the obstacle avoidance scard right so no more waiting right now we are going to start our iot journey with the help of esp8266 node MCU board now it's time to connect the no MCU board with the CPU via USB cable and it's it's done now it's time to check a proper driver for node MCU board is installed or not to check that one let's search device manager in the windows search option and hit enter now the device manager window is open next go to the ports option and here we have one cp210 usb2 Urt driver it's from Silicon Labs so the driver for node MCU board is properly installed before closing the device manager let's note down the communication port number through which the node MCU board is connected with the CPU and here it's com 3 now we can close the device manager next we are going to open the ardino IDE here here I am using ardino ID 2.3.2 and it's the latest one now we need to configure the ardino ID for node MCU board for that let's go to the tools option and here board and next board manager Now search for esp8266 in the boards manager option no package related to esp8266 is available to solve the esp8266 boards manager problem we need to copy the URL next go to the file option in the ardin ID and go to preferences now in the preferences let's go to the additional board manager URL option and paste the URL we have already copied from the notepad and click okay now it's done the RDU ID is right now downloading the packages for ES 8266 and now you can visualize that the esp8266 package right now available in the boards manager option without wasting time let's install the esp8266 package in the ardino ID once the installation process is complete let's go to the tools and then board and next the esp8266 here you will find lots of microcontroller boards with ESP 8266 now you need to find your own microcontroller board from this list and here in my case it's node MCU 1.0 now it's time to select the port again we need to visit tools option next the port option here you need to select the right port for your microcontroller board and we have already noted down the communication port for our node MCU board and it's com 3 so let's select com 3 for our node MCU board and it's done so right now the setup is complete we can upload our past code into the node MCU board now I am confused what to upload and here is a help from the ardino IDE let's go to the file option and next examples you can visualize lots of examples for node MCU 1.g microcontroller board right and here I am going to select esp8266 and next the basic blink example now this is a simple code that we are going to upload in the node MC board let's explore the code first so there are two functions one viid setup another one viid Loop in the set of function we are going to configure the built-in LED as output and in the loop we are going to bring the builted LED first we are going to make it low and after that there is a delay of 1 second and next we are going to make the built-in LED in high mode and next there is a delay of two seconds right you can modify this code also right but for the time being we we are going to upload this code to test our node MC right before uploading the code let's verify the board and the port and here it's node MCU 1.0 and com three to upload the code you can use shortcut otherwise you can go to the sketch option and next upload so we are ready with our first code now it's time to upload the code so it will take couple of seconds to upload the code in your node MCU board but before that the ardino ID is going to compile your code and check if there are errors or not now it's time to check the non MCU board if the built-in LED is blinking or not congratulation you have successfully uploaded your first code in the node MCU board and you are a step ahead in your iot journey so right now we can visualize the built-in LED of node MCU board is blinking as for our coding right so if you have any doubt or query regarding node MCU board or related to this video please feel free to communicate with me to the comment section of the video thank you
