The ESP8266MOD is a ESP12 on a board with only an antenna, no circuitry.
Is there a board library to match this? I think it may be mostly the pin numbers but I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks

Is this what you want

Thanks,
Should I use the ESPino
("name": "ESPino (ESP-12 Module)")
Apparently ESPino is actual a board variant, not the ESP8266MOD base ESP board.
Hi @JohnRob.
That is correct. It might well work with your board, but it was added to support the "ESPino" board model specifically.
In cases where there isn't a menu item for your specific board model, you can use the "Generic ESP8266 Module" menu item. This a general purpose board definition that provides support for all ESP8266-based boards. Note that when you select this board item, several additional menus are added under Arduino IDE's Tools menu, which allow you to make further configurations as appropriate for your specific hardware, application, and preferences.
The Arduino pin numbers are the same as the ESP8266 GPIO numbers when using a module like that.
