- Sun Aug 23, 2015 11:55 pm #26924 Your best bet to get up and running quickly is node mcu lua.

Its how i got started with these things.

On the other hand you can program them directly with the arduino environment by using esp826 arduino. No need for any firmware.

I will also make a shameless plug for http://es8266basic.com and the basic interpreter firmware but that is a project of mine.

But I would defiantly start with node mcu firmware. I put together a tutorial on how to install it here.
