Having trouble uploading programs -- getting java errors
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2016 12:10 amI'm working with a HiLetgo New NodeMCU LUA WiFi Internet ESP8266 Development Board, and am trying to upload a simple blink program using the Arduino 1.6.8 IDE in Windows 7.
When I compile and upload my code, I get this error:
It looks to me as if the code is compiled correctly, but that the IDE cannot find my copy of ESPTool. I used the Board Manager to get the config for the ESP8266, and I modified my platform.txt file to specify where my copy of esptool.exe is.
I'm not sure what else to do. It looks like there is still some additional bit of configuration that I need to do (the __REMOVE__ token in the error message looks very suspicious, but i can't find it anywhere).
Any ideas?
