i'm new to coding.
ive bought a new nodemcu board and it works fine. when i have gone to program it to turn it into a wifi jammer i followed all the steps at GitHub - SpacehuhnTech/esp8266_deauther: Affordable WiFi hacking platform for testing and learning
now when going to upload the code through adruino it come up with the following code:

Arduino: 1.8.2 (Mac OS X), Board: "NodeMCU 0.9 (ESP-12 Module), 80 MHz, Serial, 115200, 4M (3M SPIFFS)"

What OS are you using?
Did you install the drivers for the USB/Serial chip?

Hi,

That's for the quick reply and I'm using the newes OS on mac and I don't believe I did. How do you do that. I'm a beginner in coding

Thanks

Anyone who can't figure this out for themselves has no legitimate reason to make a wifi jammer.

I wonder if helping you commit a crime is itself a crime.
