Notes for installing Arduino/Embedis for the ESP8266 processor. Surprisingly a middle level library takes care of CORS headers so everything else is straightforward. github 
Use Arduino 1.6.5 but no later (yet). page
Tool chain for ESP8266. 1.6.5 for the moment. github
File system download tool. github
Port cu.usbmodem...
Serial 115,000
Library manager install library: Embedis.
Resolve .h problems using Tom's files. (manual install to hardware directory) github
Remaining sync/reset problems on download. Probably something about mac usb/serial driver.
