No, it is not true that you need an Arduino to sit between a Chromebook and an ESP8266. While it is true that Chromebooks have limited support for external devices compared to other platforms, you can still program and communicate with an ESP8266 directly from a Chromebook without the need for an Arduino.PixelShady wrote: ↑Sun Nov 03, 2019 3:07 pmHave been searching online and got a lot of mixed information - some saying that you need an Arduino to sit between the chromebook and ESP8266, because an ESP8266 won't be recognised/accepted directly over USB - is this true?youtube vanced
What's the current cheapest/easiest route for someone with only an ESP8266, a usb cable, and a new chromebook?
The ESP8266 can be programmed using the Arduino IDE, which is available as a web-based version called Arduino Create. With the Arduino Create web editor, you can write and upload code to the ESP8266 using the Chromebook.
