Okay, we were trying to do this on my son's Windows laptop. We just tried it on my Mac and have a new problem. When trying to upload the code, we got the following errors:
Arduino: 1.8.1 (Mac OS X), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, 115200, 4M (3M SPIFFS)"
Sketch uses 253635 bytes (24%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1044464 bytes.
Global variables use 40988 bytes (50%) of dynamic memory, leaving 40932 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81920 bytes.
warning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
Hmmm - I just got the same error after I disconnected the Turner Onner from the Mac, so that tells me there's no communication between the Mac and the Turner Onner.
