I have just received my NodeMCU V3 utilizing 32M of addressable storage. I have just plugged it in, and I was first met with the fact that the Arduino IDE with the Arduino IDE plugin for ESP8266 devices does not have a NodeMCU V3 option, rather 2 options for NodeMCU 0.9 and NodeMCU 1.0.
With some research into how to set one up, I have utilized this tutorial from Instructables. Which states at the beginning to flash the NodeMCU with some firmware.
However, not being to certain if that is a good idea (as I have broken microcontrollers through faulty installs ), I went straight into the Arduino IDE and attempted to compile the standard 'Blink' program directly into the board, as it utilizes the default Arduino language system with no external libraries that could further break the runtime.
This lead however to some errors whilst uploading, using the verbose reply system for upload, the following errors are received:

I am using these settings for my board.
What is the course of action to at least get the Blink program to operate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
