I have never had success with the ESP and Arduino IDE in 5 years. Concentrating mostly on RaspberryPi Pico, Waveshare RP2040-One,Zero,Plus w/ LCD, Microchip PICs, Nucleo-STM32 boards with Armmite, a tube of NXP LPC800 an 8 pin DIP Arm Cortex-M0+, STM8 chips running 8 bit eForth. Your instructions made it so easy for such a normally frustrating installation. Now lets see if the Arduino GIGA R1 arriving tomorrow is this simple.
Hi Roy, Good luck and best wishes for your future projects around NodeMCU ESP8266. Let me know if I can help you. Good day
Thanks for strait to the point tutorial.

BinaryUpdates Team
Great info Thanks a lot
Thank you for creating this tutorial video for us, it helps us a lot..!! Can you also show us how we can control this functioning using Blynk App? Since it has Wifi module onboard, it will be convinient to control the actions via app. Also get the status of the device (led in this case) on the app.
Hi Avinash, please check NodeMCU ESP8266 playlist on our channel. I've already covered everything from controlling device like a light bulb to monitoring sensor data using Blynk IoT Platform with ESP8266. I hope you'll enjoy! Happy learning.
Best wishes!
Hi sir is this board active low? Because the led and internal led not on at the same time
Yes Rahmat, you're right
A very good and useful video
Hi Nathan
Glad you liked it
recently i purchased NodeMCU but it's not detecting any 2.4GHz wifi networks , why is that ?
helo i need help i want to copy installed program from nodmcu esp8266
Nice 👍 very helpful
Glad to hear that
Sir I got an error as "A esptool.py error occurred: write timeout" while uploading the program in esp8266. The program is related to soil moisture sensor and blynk app How I solve it? And also if that nodemcu already program set in it then these error occurred or not?
same error you are solving
I'm Getting error that is saying " exit status 0xc0000135
Compilation error: exit status 0xc0000135 ", Please help me what can i do?
Hello I'm from Indonesia, I want to ask if nodemcu can run 2 or more programs simultaneously and how to install these programs.
Since NodeMCU is a microcontroller based device you can only run one program at a a time. You can use RTOS real time OS so that you can use multiple task. I hope this may help you. Best wishes!
@@BINARYUPDATES so can nodemcu run 2 programs alternately for example, the first program relays 1 channel to turn on/off the blinking led and the second program for the blinking led mode.
thank you. very nice bro
Welcome Edmund!
My ports written different from yours. it is written "USB-SERIAL CH340 (COM4)". Is my nodeMCU is fake or something? because I cannot upload any code in it
cheers mate!
Thank you so much mate!
very good and Informative
Thanks for liking Thyagaraja!
nice work!
Hi Remus, Thank you! Cheers!
does arduino ide version matters while flashing the code?
Its doesn't matter which Arduino IDE you use while programming NodeMCU ESP8266.
Bro which cable used for programming
Normal phone charger cable or special cable
Hi Akashdeep, use Micro USB cable which will support DATA transfer, as well as power. And mobile charger cable will also work to program NodeMCU ESP8266. Good luck and best wishes!
@@BINARYUPDATESOMGG THANKS CAN I USE WIFI JAMMER FOR IT?? ❤❤
Using a resistor with the LED is imperative to prevent any accidental damage to your ESP8266 module due to a short circuit.
Yes, I agree with you. To keep lesson short, simple to the point. I follow this quick way to connect LED to NodeMCU ESP8266. I hope you understand. Thanks!
Nice Thank you
Hi Imran, Welcome!
I can work with the 8266 if I have to use the wifi, because I want to use it to bring animations to a matrix and that functionality of the I do not need
Yes, you can use ESP8266 for Wifi. NodeMCU ESP8266 has built-in Wifi along with Microcontroller
@@BINARYUPDATES disculpe no me entendió.Yo le prgunto que si puede usar el esp 8266 sin tener que usar el wifi,porque yo no tengo wifi en mi hogar,me refiero al esp8266 nodemcu
@@ernestorivero688 you can use the board without connecting to wifi. It just also has that functionality if you need it.
Thanks Bro
I need Ur help for something in thé card esp8266
I have connected the node MCU with my computer but my computer isn't detecting the node MCU ,the blue light is on in node mcu . What should i do?
Hi Siddhaarth, it may possible your NodeMCU ESP8266 is getting powered. But to work it properly you need to change good quality of MicroUSB Cable. I have seen very often cables create issue while detecting COM Port to computer.
I'm sure changing cable will resolve your issue. Good luck!
And Best wishes!

Pls anyone help me
I am getting an error
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
Esptool.py v3.0
Serial port com3
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
Hi Mohammed, try following things:
1-> Try with other USB cable,
2-> Close and reopen Arduino IDE and
3-> Make sure PORT is selected properly
These days these errors are common because of bad quality of NodeMCU board in market. I hope this may help.
Good luck and best wishes!
it says that out of 80,192 bytes of RAM available, 28,104 bytes are being used, which is 35% of the total RAM. how to rid of this error
Sir, In my laptop even after connected the NODE mcu the device manger not showing the option of port network.....please help me to set this
Please check other video on my channel for NodeMCU ESP8266 about drivers installation. There will be drivers for CP210x or CH340 needs to be installed in your laptop to detect NodeMCU. Also try other good quality USB cable. I hope this may help. Good luck!
@@BINARYUPDATES thank you....
no library of esp8266 by esp8266 community
how to find it?
Hi Adrian, please make sure to add proper additional board URL into the "Preferences" section of Arduino IDE. If URL could not found then the board can't be seen in "Board Manager" for installation. I hope this may help you. Good luck and best wishes!
Thank you
You're welcome Gyan De Silva!
Happy new year. I do not get the same arduino preference page. There is no place to paste the link? Do I have to donate money? Frustrated!!!
Hi Phillips, on top menu bar on Arduino IDE click on File. Then in the list select Preferences... and then a dialog box pops-up on screen there you've Additional boards manager URLs section where you can paste the link. no need to pay or donate , its available for all versions of Arduino IDE's. I hope this may help. Good luck and best wishes!
IF it is not ditected what should i do? please help me, ive tryed alot of cables no one is responsing
same problem. did yours work?
Please consider installing drivers for CH340 or CP2102 there are different version of NodeMCU ESP8266. I have dedicated video on my channel to show how to fix this issue. I hope you'll find in ESP8266 NodeMCU playlist. Good luck and Best wishes!
I have an issue as my nodemcu led is working but the d4 pin external led not working
Hi, please check connections because those pins are very close to one another. Otherwise also check LED with other microcontroller board. Finally, check Arduino code uploaded on NodeMCU ESP8266. Good luck and best wishes!
On searching esp8266 in board manager it is not showing the library files. I already pasted the link
Hi Ayushman, I hope you're not searching ESP8266 into the library manager. Because I've seen many people search ESP8266 NodeMCU Board packages in Arduino Library Manager. You must search in "Board Manager". If in case it still not showing then close and open Arduino IDE several times. It happens then IDE doesn't locate link paster in "Preferences" section of Arduino IDE. I hope this may help you. Good luck!
Hello, i get this error and i don't know how to fix it (espcomm_sync failed) u have any idea why is this happend?
Hi Alex, try to close and reopen Arduino IDE. If needed uninstall and reinstall software. if the issue is about linking proper libraries. Otherwise, make sure your ESP board is detected with proper drivers in place with quality USB Cable. This issue happens for many reasons. I hope this tip can be helpful. Good luck!
@@BINARYUPDATES i need to flash the bord before uploading the code but thx
if after this we plug out from laptop it works or not ???
means node mcu work without laptop if we upload code succesfully !!!
Without power kyu chalega Bhai power supply doge to jalega 1000 ms delay😊
Sir I'm getting error like : could not open port com4 ,the semaphore timeout period has expired
Hi Arvind, please make sure COM Port is selected properly in Arduino IDE while uploading code. And also try connect to other USB port of laptop. If still doesn't help then close and reopen IDE and try to upload code. It happens sometimes as USB COM Port freezes. Hope this may help you. Good luck!
Thanks sir
Welcome
Tq bro ets wark🥰
Welcome 👍
Bro i want to know how to off street light using this
Hi LuckieWeeb, you must use Photodiode LDR to detect light intensity in surrounding. And then use relay to interface with NodeMCU ESP8266 to control light bulb for steet light. I hope you'll find this information useful. Good luck and best wishes!
@@BINARYUPDATES Thanks for telling me this bruh very appreciated but i want you to make on video on this please if you don't mind❤️
nodemcu v2 is working without downloading driver?
Thanks for an update. Usually, if you've genuine NodeMCU ESP8266 in that case drivers get installed and device detectes automatically. Cheers!
Port is not showing on device manager?? Is my esp8266 defective
Hi Ashutosh, please make sure drivers are installed properly for NodeMCU ESP8266. Also, make sure Micro USB cable is of good quality which support data transfer and power together. I recommend using quality or branded cable. Good luck and best wishes!
Please make a wifi led scrolling display with esp8266 & max7219.
Hi Bappaditya, I'll surely consider making video on Dot Matrix Display MAX7219 with NodeMCU ESP8266. Thanks for your suggestions!
Thanks
Hi Kenny, thanks I hope you enjoyed this NodeMCU ESP8266 video.
Good luck and best wishes!
Is it necessary to use Arduino while using wifi module
Hi Gavara, no its not necessary!
my laptop is not showing the option of ports(com and lpt)
Hi Aditya, try other USB Cable with NodeMCU or check if you've installed drivers properly. I've made dedicated video on how to fic drivers issue of NodeMCU ESP8266 on my channel. Good luck and best wishes!
The best
Thanks for the tutorial. Shouldn't a resistor be needed for the LED ?
Hi Wagnard, you're right for external LED with NodeMCU ESP8266 its always recommended to use current limiting resistor. In this video to make quick and to keep simple, I avoided using. But still it works. Thanks and have a good day
If it denotes port is not detected.. Then what should we do?
Hi Geetha, in this case you need to install drivers or try other micro USB cable. And then try again and see if your ESP8266 detects the port in device manager of computer. I have made dedicated video to solve this issue on my ESP8266 NodeMCU playlist. I hope you'll find it. Good luck and best wishes!
In code after uploading it is showing 'D4' was not declared in this scope
Please make sure in board selection menu in Arduino IDE. You must select board NodeMCU ESP-12E this will link all libraries properly while compiling code. Good luck!
Sir Arduino board manager Mae copy karne ke baad use search karne per error dikha raha hai?
Kya kru
Hi Jyotee, Please check if the the souce url added into "Preferences" section is correct. if it happens again. Then reinstall Arduino IDE and try process from scratch. I hope it may help to install ESP8266 packages in Arudino IDE. Also make sure any other software on your laptop should not block arduino software.
my node mcu is not getting connected....i am not able to see "Port"
Hi ChinUmay, make sure the correct drivers should be installed. And also try with good quality MicroUSB cable very often USB cable becomes as issue for NodeMCU ESP8266 to detect. Good luck and best wishes!
What to do if not correct in Device Manager?
Hi Jason, Do you mean your device manager doesn't shows up COM Port for NodeMCU. In that case, you may need to make sure right drivers installed. Also try with good quality Micro USB cable. I found USB cable which only means for power may not work. your usb cable must support power and data both. Changing USB cable may resolve your concern. Good luck and best wishes!
Why 8266?Is there any specific reason for 8266...
Good question but I don't have a answer.
why is the Arduino IDE giving me this error:
No connection established
Compilation error: No connection established
Hi Fatma, I hope you're using same version of Arduino IDE as shown in video. Otherwise you can consider reinstalling IDE and check. It seems to me an issue with IDE. I hope this may help. Wish you good luck!
how can I jam any internet connection
Hi, you can check our videos on webserver and MQTT with ESP8266 NodeMCU. There I've covered internet connectivity of NodeMCU with IoT Server. I hope it will be useful. Good luck and best wishes!
