- Fri May 26, 2017 12:50 pm #66361 Has anyone gotten this board to work??? I see conflicting information on how to load it with the boards manager on the IDE and NEITHER works... One on Github tells me to Clone their repository into hardware/esp8266com/esp8266.... I am assuming they mean to paste all of the LinkNodeD1 Master into the Arduino hardware directory... no help.... Even though I see the LinkNodeD1 board listed, I cannot even do a bare minimum sketch upload without faults.....

When I went to LinkSprite site, they say on the esp8266 json you would load with the boards manager, that you can use WeMos D1 (retired) as the board and it should work...NOPE again

..... Im at a loss here.

as well as reconfiguring the boards manager for ESP8266 boards.

Hope I didn't waste $10
