- Mon Jun 12, 2017 10:11 am #67042 So does anyone know if the Arduino IDE needs to be actually installed into the system or would the unzipped non-installer version work?

Where to get modules?

I had never heard of that but followed the instructions here:-
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/PortableIDE
and installed on a flash drive.
Was able to compile the usual "blink" sketch - but a quick try with Espbasic started giving errors about include files not found. Will try again tomorrow.
