Software Installation
Step A) Install latest IDE (If you have IDE version after 1.1.16, please skip this step).
Download IDE from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software?setlang=en, then install the software.
Step B)WifiESP Library is required to run OSOYOO ESP8266 shield sketch code. If you have installed this library, please skip this step.
WifiESP library can be downloaded from following link:
https://osoyoo.com/driver/WiFiEsp-master.zip
then in your IDE ->Sketch->Include Library->Add .ZIP Library and select the WiFiEsp-master.zip file you just downloaded, and upload it to Basic board.
Step C)Download and Edit esp8266-lesson1.ino file
Please download sketch from https://osoyoo.com/driver/wifi-iot/lesson1/esp8266-lesson1.zip and unzip the file and double click esp8266-lesson1.ino file, you can edit this file in IDE.
