ESP8266 NonOS AT Bin V1.7.4. When developing new products with ESP8266, it is recommended that you use ESP8266 AT Bin V2.0.0.0 and/or later versions. Previous AT versions were based on the ESP8266 NONOS SDK, to which no new features will be added in the future. NodeMCU v1.0 Driver. The first step on the mac is to install drivers. These are a driver that can communicate to that little square chip (CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP) we mentioned before: Download it to your Downloads folder. Double click on SiLabsUSBDriverDisk.dmg. Double click on Silicon Labs VCP Driver Install Disk.pkg.
A prerequisite to program ESP*-based modules usually is to establish a communications channel from your development platform (PC, Mac, Linux) to the device over USB. This in turn requires your system to detect the USB-to-Serial (aka USB-to-TTL, aka USB-to-UART) adapter on the ESP8266 or ESP32 module. There are two commonly used adapters in the wild these days:
- Silicon Labs CP210x
- Winchiphead CH340x / CH341x
See uninstalling information at the bottom of the page if the driver causes problems for you. Here is an older version of the Mac driver, NOT FOR 10.12 Sierra (V1.0) Download the CH340 Macintosh Signed Driver for Mavericks (10.9), Yosemite (10.10) and El Capitan (10.11). ESP8266 ARDUINO IDE DRIVER FOR WINDOWS MAC. Esp8266 arduino. Start git, linux note, arduino uno. Esp8266 arduino ide, both mode wifi station & ap/hotspot. Esptool.py is a python script that retrieves information about your ESP8266 module and flashes its firmware. In the previous article we used ESPFlasher to install a NodeMCU firmware on an ESP8266-based board (and even install a custom firmware through nodemcu-build), but ESPFlasher is only available for Windows (32 or 64 Bits) while esptool can run on all platforms that can run Python.
Popular modules that use the CP210x are:
- NodeMCU v1.0 (i.e. V2) module
- WeMos D1 mini Pro (some revisions)
Examples of modules that use the CH340G chip are:
- WeMos D1 mini
- D1 mini Lite

Note that there is no harm done if you install both drivers even if you currently just use one! If you are not sure which adapter your ESP8266/ESP32 module uses then just install both.
Silicon Labs CP210x§
Silicon Labs maintains a page in English that lists downloadable driver binaries that also contains installation instructions.

Winchiphead CH340x / CH341x§
Winchiphead (WCH) maintains its website only in Chinese. However, the download page for the drivers is so simple that even non-Chinese speakers will find the right download link.

Warning
Esp8266 Driver Mac High Sierra
Some systems require a reboot before the driver installation can be successfully completed. The installer may or may not tell you about this! If you later connect the ThingPulse device and the system does not recognize it try rebooting as a first measure..
