ESP8266

Installation

Some board-specific installation steps:

WEMOS D1 mini

1. Install the latest version of the CH340G driver (Windows, macOS)

Note: For macOS Sierra the required driver version is 1.4 or higher. By the time of writing the official WEMOS website had only 1.3, so you had to get it from WCH, the CH340G manufacturer.

2. Connect the device to computer using MicroUSB cable.

WEMOS D1 mini Pro

1. Install the latest version of the CP210x driver (Windows, macOS)

2. Connect the device to computer using MicroUSB cable.
