Wemos d1 mini: small description.

Today we start to make the board compatible with the IDE of arduino.

Open the arduino IDE and go to File -> preference

in Additional Boards Manager URLs paste this URL:

http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

do not click on it, you just copy and paste.

Once pasted the URL click on ok

Close the Arduino IDE and reopen it 

Now click on tools -> Boards -> Boards managers.

It will open a window, in the search bar at the top looking esp8266

and installed esp8226 by esp8266 Community.

Once finished the installation go to tools -> Boards

and select the new board Wemos d1 R2 & mini.

Ok, next time we will configure the ip address of esp8266, and we'll look easy sketch just to understand how it works.
