Installing Java Runtime.
--------------------------------------
I mentioned in the video about providing a link to a video on how to install java, unfortunately I am unable to find a good one, I believe it is because no one has created one as the task is quite easy!
Just navigate to: java.com/en/download/ Click download and follow the installation instructions! Any problems post a comment and I will be happy to help!
Code Sample
--------------------------------------
while 1 do
gpio.write(0, gpio.HIGH)
tmr.delay(1000000) -- wait 1,000,000 us = 1 second
gpio.write(0, gpio.LOW)
tmr.delay(1000000) -- wait 1,000,000 us = 1 second
end

Best explanation on YouTube for 8266 use, history and more, among so many. No BS and cover ups for lack of know how. I look forward to your future tutorials. Great job Tom! Any additional info on Python and how it fits in with ESP8266 would be appreciated. Best regards,

Thanks you for producing this concise guide on how to get the modemcu up and running. We'll done!

Got this working thanks to your video! Thanks so much! Worth noting that the firmware upload did not work for me until I realized that I was using a USB charging cable that did not have a data line in it. Once I switched cables, I was able to follow your video and the firmware flash and blink test worked perfectly for me.

Good tutorial so far. However, when I first plugged in my NodeMCU I had to change the baud rate to 115200 to get it to communicate the ESPlorer software. I downloaded and flashed the latest firmware as in the video (if I remember correctly - there have been a few changes obviously since you posted the video). When I tried get it communicate I tried all the baud rates. Then I tried pressing the Reset button on the board, set the baud rate to 9600 and clicked the Open button on the software - success!

When the Explorer v0.2.0 comes up the window and all its buttons are incredibly small, is there a way to increase all the text within the window making it possible to read the description and function of the buttons?

very helpful thank you! looking forward to the next videos. Where did you get the blackboard version from? I got a yellow one and it doesn't fit on a breadboard correctly for messing around with quickly.
