Re: This is how to install without replacing your existing I
Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:33 amYou have to unzip it inside a folder inside hardware: like <My Documents>/hardware/esp8266. The board and tool then show up, as well as the examples.
I moved them to:<my documents>\Arduino\hardware\arduino-esp8266-master\esp8266\
<my documents>\Arduino\hardware\arduino-esp8266-master\tools\
and now it works as described.
I guess I got confused because Arduino doesn't use a sub-folder for 'their own' platform hardware:
<program files>\Arduino\hardware\arduino\
<program files>\Arduino\hardware\tools\
[edit:] wait, no, after actually trying to compile and upload something, now I get the _dso_handle thing like this post: viewtopic.php?p=13056
The workaround suggested also doesn't work, that leads back to java errors.
Code: Select all
java.lang.NullPointerException
