Installing the ESP8266 Library for the Arduino IDE
ESP8266 works with the Arduino Uno by utilizing the ESP8266 library. In this section, we will see how to install the ThingSpeak API for ESP8266 with Arduino Uno. This is a pre-requisite of installing the ThingSpeak library, before we can log data to the cloud. You will need this library in order to include the ThingSpeak.h file in the sketch below.
- Launch the Arduino IDE.
- Navigate to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries...
- The Library Manager window will pop up.
- In the Library Manager window, search for ThingSpeak and install the required library. The library that I choose to install is shown below.
