+
+5. Compile
+
+## Steps for ESP8266 based board (DIY model)
+
+1. Add esp8266 board by adding http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into Additional Board Manager URLs field.
+2. Install esp8266 board on board manage with version **3.1.2**

+
+3. Plug AirGradient monitor
+4. Set board to `LOLIN(WEMOS) D1 R2 & mini`, let other settings to default
+5. Compile
+
+## Possible Issues
+
+### Linux (Debian)
+
