I am trying to flash an esp8226 WiFi module. I am using ver 1.8.13. Per instructions I have been following I need to go to preferences then to additional boards manager URLs: and type in the following, http://arduino.esp8226.com/stable/package_esp8226com_index.json

Then I go to the board manager and search for the esp8226.

I don't see it and I have the following message at the bottom IDE window: error downloading http://arduino.esp8226.com/stable/package_esp8226com_index.json

The error message pops up as soon as I open the board manager.
If I bring up the additional board manager URL pop up box and put the address in there and click the text that states for a list of unofficial boards support URLs it opens a web page that has the esp8226 code.

Any idea of why the board manager won't download this.

Thanks,
Dick

Please do this:

  • Close all Arduino IDE windows.
  • Start the Arduino IDE.
  • Tools > Board > Boards Manager
  • After you get the error message, click the "Close" button.
  • Click on the black console window at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window.
  • Press Ctrl+A to select all the text.
  • Press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
  • Paste the copied text into a reply here, using code tags (</> button on the toolbar).

That might provide some information that we can use to help you.

Never mind. Wrong number stuck on my brain. esp8266 not esp8226.
