2. ESP E
ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi chip with full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability produced by Shanghai-based Chinese manufacturer, Espressif.
Added components for 12-E implementation
1. Silicon Labs CP2102 USB to Serial UART (alternative to FTDI)
2. NCP VDC Voltage Regulator
3. implementation closely follows the Open-Source design of the NodeMCU Team
(not limited to archaic and unpredictable “AT” commands
4. Can be implemented via Arduino IDE (Wiring/C), ESPlorer,(LUA and Python code)
or Espruino (Javascript)

3. 1. USB to serial UART driver:
2. Board manager to add into preferences so the Arduino Ide knows where to look:
3. Select the menu optionTools → Board → Boards Manager...and scroll down and to locate the option esp8266 by ESP8266 Community, click Install.
(should include the "ESP8266WiFi.h" library)
4. restart the Arduino IDE set to NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)
