esp8266 v7 board - BONGDATV

For learning, testing, and prototyping, you'll want to use ESP8266 NodeMCU development boards. These come with all the needed circuitry to apply power, upload code, easy access to the GPIOs to connect sensors and actuators, an antenna for the Wi-Fi signal, and other useful features.

The default baud rate of ESP8266 is74880, therefore, UART tools that can support the default baud rate are recommended. Please note that certain USB-UART converters

NodeMCU esp8266 wifi module is an open-source, low-cost, low-power MCU (microcontroller unit) development board. It has 17 GPIO pins (11 are Digital I/O pins), out of which one pin is an analog pin, 4 pins support PWM, 2 pairs are for UART (UART0 and UART1), and supports 1x SPI and 1x I2C protocol.

How to resolve "Board generic (platform esp8266, package esp8266) is unknown" error?¶ This error may pop up after switching between staging and stable esp8266 / Arduino package installations, or after upgrading the package version.
