Trying to upload sketch but get errors which seem to indicate the board I have selected is incorrect. I'm using the generic 8266 module. The actual controller is a AI-Thinker Technology unit. Any help would be appreciated.

If you use the generic settings for ESP8266 boards then that has lots of settings which must be correct for the board you use. In particular you need to select the right Flash memory size (1MByte for ESP-01).
Or you can do yourself a favour and use an integrated board like a Wemos D1 mini which plugs straight into a USB port, is much more capable than an ESP-01, and is still pretty cheap.
