  6. Code testing

Introduction to NodeMcu


NodeMcu is an open source IoT platform based upon esp8266. NodeMcu is a cheap Wifi module with an open source hardware. The board is quite similar to the Arduino nano board but it has some great features as compared to the Arduino board. The best thing as it appears to its wifi capability. We can connect the module to the wifi Router or any wifi network.This can be very useful in many applications.It has an open source hardware as Arduino. The cool part is that we just install the module from Arduino IDE and it can work and program in Arduino IDE.

This cheap wifi module can be utilized in many interesting projects.We will see some of the great projects with NodeMcu in coming posts.


Why  to Use NodeMcu


NodeMcu esp 8266 -12 is an Arduino Compatible platform. The module is usually used for Wifi based applications. This cheap wifi module is also used as an open source hardware. The module can be programmed with Arduino IDE.The Module is useful in many ways we can control many things using wifi communication.the module has few pins for output connections. The module is suitable for the bread board and easily programmable.


Pinout Configuration of NodeMcu

 

The NodeMcu has on board ESP8266-12E that makes the board suitable for IoT. The inbuilt 3.3 volts regulator.The module has UART pins the RX and TX pins and a micro USB port for program uploading.The physical appearance is much similar to the Arduino nano board.

Specification


The NodeMcu development Kit has the following Specifications:
  • Wi-Fi Module – ESP-12E module
  • USB-TTL included plug&play
  • 10 GPIO, every GPIO can be PWM, I2C, 1-wire
  • GPIOs, SPI, UART, ADC, and power pins
  • PCB antenna

Installation of NodeMcu in Arduino IDE


Follow the steps to install the NodeMcu setup in Arduino IDE:

Step # 01:

File tab and then click on Preferences:
Boards Manager URLs add the following link :

http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json


Step # 02:


Tools > Boards  >  Boards Manager

Now in the search field type :

esp8266 > click the link esp8266 by ESP8266 Community  > Click Install


Final Step:

Now  Go to the Boards and in the list select the NodeMCU 1.0  the (ESP-12E Module).

Now that’s it! We have installed the setup for NodeMcu. Select the NodeMcu board same as we select for Arduino boards like nano, Uno or Mega. Select Esp-12E module this time.

If the Arduino IDE doesn’t recognize the port for  NodeMcu update the drivers from the Device manager.


Circuit Diagram:


For the testing the board Go to the examples and Run a simple Blink Code :

...........     pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
 
.......   void loop() {
........    digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   //HIGH is the voltage level
...........    delay(1000);              // wait for a second
...........      digitalWrite(13, LOW);    //  voltage LOW
...........       delay(1000);
}

 

So here is the Basic Tutorial about NodeMcu. This is the basic setup that we need before moving towards the next tutorials.In the coming tutorials, we will see some of the great projects with NodeMcu. Stay connected with us and  Subscribe to our YouTube  Channel.
Stay Happy and Stay Motivated.
