History [ edit ]

NodeMCU was created shortly after the ESP8266 came out. On December 30, 2013, Espressif Systems[6] began production of the
ESP8266.[12] NodeMCU started on 13 Oct 2014, when Hong committed the first file of nodemcu-firmware to GitHub.[13] Two months later,
the project expanded to include an open-hardware platform when developer Huang R committed the gerber file of an ESP8266 board,
named devkit v0.9.[14] Later that month, Tuan PM ported MQTT client library from Contiki to the ESP8266 SoC platform,[15] and
committed to NodeMCU project, then NodeMCU was able to support the MQTT IoT protocol, using Lua to access the MQTT broker.
Another important update was made on 30 Jan 2015, when Devsaurus ported the u8glib[16] to the NodeMCU project,[17] enabling
NodeMCU to easily drive LCD, Screen, OLED, even VGA displays.

In the summer of 2015 the original creators abandoned the firmware project and a group of independent contributors took over. By the
summer of 2016 the NodeMCU included more than 40 different modules.

ESP8266 Arduino Core [ edit ]

As Arduino.cc began developing new MCU boards based on non-AVR processors like the ARM/SAM MCU and used in the Arduino Due,
they needed to modify the Arduino IDE so that it would be relatively easy to change the IDE to support alternate toolchains to allow
Arduino C/C++ to be compiled for these new processors. They did this with the introduction of the Board Manager and the SAM Core. A

 "core" is the collection of software components required by the Board Manager and the Arduino IDE to compile an Arduino C/C++ source
file for the target MCU's machine language. Some ESP8266 enthusiasts developed an Arduino core for the ESP8266 WiFi SoC,
popularly called the "ESP8266 Core for the Arduino IDE".[18] This has become a leading software development platform for the various
ESP8266-based modules and development boards, including NodeMCUs.

Pins [ edit ]

NodeMCU provides access to the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) and a pin mapping table is part of the API documentation.[19]
