Here it is, programming your ESP8266 from Arduino environment. No arduino UNO required.

I started to use the ESP8266 in combination with an Arduino UNO and found out that this Wifi enabled chip as quite powerful. So I developed "Blink" running on native ESP8266. Blink without using an UNO, only the ESP8266 microprocessor. My next challenge was to use Arduino IDE as the development environment. Here is my journey until so far.

This is really fantastic Mr. Jeroen.

Sorry I am not programmer to contribute your work...
I really don't understand how do you compile ESP8266 code at Arduino. To get an idea, I installed Ubuntu and esp-open-sdk and build up everything fine BUT I can not compile even the examples contained at latest espressif SDK...

Anyway congratulation one more time. You deserve big help and support.

Best Regards,
Mike Kranidis
