LabVIEW Basics #8 - Uploading and Debugging Custom LINX (LabVIEW) Firmware to a ESP8266

In this episode of #LabVIEW Basics I show you how to compile and upload custom #LINX firmware to a #ESP8266 ESP-01 Module. This will allow you to program your ESP8266 in LabVIEW and run the system over Wi-Fi as a bespoke embedded system.

This video focuses on compiling the firmware and blinking an LED on the ESP8266 over Wi-Fi controlled through LabVIEW.

I also discuss how to to debug the source code files with a pragmatic mindset. You don't need to be an expert in C to debug some errors! Once you're up and running, you can take this further and develop the firmware and libraries to suit your specific needs.
