The ESPEasy guide doesn't mention the NRF24L01 explicitly but does look similar to the ESP-01 board. So, can the NRF24L01 actually be flashed for ESPEasy?
When attempting to execute the flash on the NRF24L01 (providing COM port, 512 and 120) as input, I get error message...
Code: Select all
Comport (example 3, 4, ..) :7
Flash Size (example 512, 1024, 4096) :512

I've sucessfully uploaded ESPEasy using a NodeMCU board but would like to see what cheaper options with other ESP8266 boards I can use for my temperature array. I'm fairly new to this and am somewhat of a novice when it comes to flashing boards that may need pins swapping over, especially where I can't find guidance on-line. I do have Arduino Nano boards so if this is a better way then please let me know.
Once again, any help or guidance will be appreciated.
