Esp8266 port doesn't show up in ARDUINO

Hi,
Last week I bought a ESP8266 module.
I wanted to program it with arduino so I connected it with an USB cable but the port doesn't show up.
I tried desinstaling and reinstaling but it still doesn't work
Can somebody help me ?

Have you installed the Arduino core for the ESP8266? You will need the core to program the ESP using the Arduino IDE.

No I haven't, I ll try :wink:

Ok, I did everything and it doesn't work at all:
Now, when I click on verify it show me some errors.
So I put back all the files.

I followed this tutoriel : GitHub - SpacehuhnTech/esp8266_deauther: Affordable WiFi hacking platform for testing and learning

So the mods deleted your other thread so you started a new one? Well I'll repeat myself again: If you can't figure out how to use an ESP8266 on your own then you have no legitimate use for a WiFi "Jammer".

No ordinary user can delete a thread.
I didn't like the direction the other thread was taking, so it went in the bin.

Well you might as well bin this one and m4th6 along with it. Do you really think we should help some 12 year old wanna-be "haxxor" script kiddy break the law and ruin people's day?

Perhaps the script kiddy has been shown the error of their ways, and has been persuaded only to use their super WiFi powers only for good.

Exactly. Let us assume he has reformed.
It could be missing drivers if the ESP8266 module uses a CH340G USB chip.

Okay but I did exactly like the tutorial I don't understand why this doesn't work.
@6v6gt I am not a pro informatician, can you explain more please?

What it is

Basically it’s a device which performs a deauth attack.
You select the clients you want to disconnect from their network and start the attack. As long as the attack is running, the selected devices are unable to connect to their network.
Other attacks also have been implemented, such as beacon or probe request flooding.

From the OP's link in reply #3. So maybe not so reformed?

Ok thanks for that, groundFungus.
