Hi,

I got ESPDuino ESP-13 and Arduino IDE 1.6.7.
I did the preferences, downloaded the board managers,
did the Tools > Board > Boards manager, downloaded the ESP v 2.0.0
then set the board Tools > ESPDuino (ESP13), and then
File > Examples > ESP8266 > Blink
and then clicked verify and got :

.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/2.0.0/cores/esp8266/Arduino.h:279:26: fatal error: pins_arduino.h: No such file or directory
#include "pins_arduino.h"

Not sure what to do next for the ESPDuino to get Blink working.
Any help appreciated.

select ESP8266 Generic
You must set preferences under File then install the boardstuff

Additional Boards Manager URLs:
http://arduino.esp8266.com/staging/pack ... index.json

use staging or stable

Thank you, just enough information to get going.
I added the board manager URL under File > Preferences > Additional Board Manager URL
Then I set Tools > Board to Generic ESP826, and then File > Examples > ESP8266 > Blink
Then changed the three instances of "BUILTIN_LED" to "16" without quotes,
and then clicked verify, and the pins_arduino.h error is gone.
Then I press flash button on the ESPDuino ESP-13 board, then while it is pressed,
I press Reset, and then release reset, and then release flash button.
That puts the ESPDuino into flash mode.
Clicke on the upload button on the IDE, and then after a short while
of displaying a long list of dots, it is ready, and showing the blink working.

Also working in a similar way was File > Examples > ESP8266Wifi > Wifiscan.
I ran the Tools > Serial Port and set the baud rate to 115200 and there in that window
is displayed the result of all the scans - about 8 Wifi access points from where I am
