Programming the ESP8266 board with an IDE

The ESP8266 board can be programmed with any computer, including a Raspberry Pi. There are multiple IDEs available for different platforms. We recommend that you use Windows computers to program the ESP8266 boards, because there are two great IDEs available on Windows:

• uPyCraft IDE
• EsPy IDE

ESPlorer is also an excellent IDE available for all platforms.
