- Sat Apr 04, 2015 7:44 am #13450 I had a similar problem where the programmer did appear and when I looked in the programmer.txt file it was empty. I then copied the programmer .txt file from the 1.6.1 version at which point the programmer appeared in the Arduino list. However I then got 'compile error' and nothing else. At this point I gave up! System is Win 7 64 Arduino 1.6.3.

I so wish this ESP8266 addition would work properly as an addition to 1.6.3 or 1.6.2 because it potential is amazing.

- Sat Apr 04, 2015 9:37 am #13458 Works perfectly (esp8266blink example )with windows 7 and IDE1.6.3 and (My Arduino folder)\arduino-esp8266-master\ containing esp8266 and tools folders.
My arduino folder is in dropbox : Dropbox\arduino sketches. Then I can work on any pc on my local network with the same data.
Great job !

- Mon Apr 06, 2015 3:54 pm #13672 I am very very happy with your work.

However I have a question regarding the libaries that are esp8266 specific. Like the OneWire.h library.
I now replaced the OneWire.h library in the libaries folder however whenever i want to build firmware for a normal Arduino, I will have to replace that library again. Is there not a better way to do that?

(BTW adding the library to the \Arduino\hardware\arduino-esp8266-master\esp8266\libraries did not make any difference. In other words that location does not override the defaul location)

Alain, that's interesting because you make no mention of putting anything under the Arduino hardware folder. I'll have to try your set up. I have never used Dropbox but you are the second person in the last couple of days to suggest its use. I assume otherwise that you just used Roger's download.
