Recently, I put a lot of work into the esp82xx toolchain, bringing it up to date and making it compatible with Windows subsystem for Linux. This makes it much easier to install and run in any environment. So, here, I show how to fire it up, and run channel3 as well as a Minecraft server on this little ESP8266 dev board.
This video is slated for release mid-next-week. I am charging for this post, as making the esp8266 projects more accessible has been on my list to do for quite a while!
