Getting Started with Node MCU/Arduino IDE in Ubuntu

Defaultly Arduino doesnt support Node MCU, So we need to add node mcu packages link to the board manager in Arduino IDE preferences

1. Add link to aditional boards manager

Thats all , now the all esp boards are listed in the tools and board section. Select Node MCU and start programing.

Happy Programming !!!!!
