- Wed Feb 15, 2017 4:01 pm #62617 I have an esp8266-12E.
I use that one with the Arduino IDE (Nodemcu)

Q1: Is nodemcu standard implemented on the chip of the esp8266-12E or is that done by the Arduino IDE?
Q2: I was (I am) of the opinion that when using nodemcu I can only use Lua as programming language, but the Arduino IDE uses C (or C++ ?) and not Lua.

Lua, C/C++, BASIC, Javascript, AT commands, etc. all can run on ESP boards such as NodeMCU devkit 1.0, Wemos d1 mini, Adafruit Huzzah, etc.

I program NodeMCU devkit 1.0 boards using the Arduino IDE in C/C++. Note the confusing pin labels which is a minor annoyance.
