ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello, I am new to ESP8266 but I am not new to Arduino programming. I recently bought a ESP8266 listed below. I updated my Arduino to 1.8.3 and installed the ESP8266 board into it. I wanted to make sure that everything worked OK so I tried a new project called ESP8266-12E Weather (that’s what it eventually will be for). I did not even put any code into the new sketch and when I tried to compile it, I got the annoying message that says it did not work. I have included that message below. I was hoping someone can help me out and tell me what I did wrong. Thanks!!

I see this is kind of old but I thought I'd chime in since I'm new here. I had similar issues initially but managed to get most resolved. I needed to update many of my local libraries to ones which have been updated with ESP8266 support (like OneWire, etc) you will likely need to do the same.
