ESP8266 Module

This guide is not a complete set of instructions. Rather it points to other links and guides that are already out there and works well. It's mainly for my own reference in the future but it might be useful to others too.

Connecting it

I'm using the ESP8266 module with header pins already attached and basic components that came with SparkFun Inventor's Kit + FTDI breakout board with lots of clips.

• Link to SparkFun https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13287
• This guide is based on the Hookup guide so read it if you want more details https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/esp8266-wifi-shield-hookup-guide

How To Setup Arduino on Windows

This guide was written while I was preparing for Arduino tutorial for a group of students. The first part of the guide should work for any general Arduino installation on computers without admin access. These have been tried on Windows 7, 8 and 10. The later part of the guide covers how to add Sparkfun Inventor's Kit code libraries as an example. You can add other libraries by replacing the SIK code library to your own.
