- Sat Mar 28, 2015 4:20 pm #12870 I still get an error... but I do see the libraries now if I choose generic esp8266 as the board.

I must have an inherent misunderstanding of this process. Is the point of this new ide to install arduino code ONTO an esp8266? Or am I connecting an esp8266 to an UNO board? I was under the assumption that I was installing the code onto the UNO board and the libary makes it easier to talk to the esp8266.


This is the error I get when I choose the UNO board.

I just noticed that the library list changes when I select the UNO board vs the esp8266 board. I think that's my problem.

I must have an inherent misunderstanding of this process.

New ide install arduino code and Espressif SDK libraries into esp8266. And u can use many Arduino libraries and sketches too (with some restrictions: interrupts, registers and so on low-level functions). Arduino (as device) not needed.

- Sat Mar 28, 2015 4:41 pm #12873 Got it. That makes a heck of a lot more sense. Now I understand the missing library error message. Thank you.

I could not resist however to see if it works under Eclipse with the Jantje plugin. So I create an empty sketch

Code: Select all#include "Arduino.h"
//
// Pin definitions
//

//
// global defines & parameters
//

//
// global variables
//

/**
 * @name setup()
 * initialize the program
 */
void setup()
{
}

/**
 * @name loop()
 * main loop of program and runs endlessly
 */
void loop()
{
}


Unfortunately the compiler stops with the assembly part:

Any idea?
