## Folders

The esp8266 folder goes into your QTcreator's template wizard directory
The esp8266 folder goes into your QTcreator's template wizard directory. For me this went in `E:\msys64\mingw64\share\qtcreator\templates\wizards`

The jserialmon folder is a Qt CLI project that you can use to see the output from the esp8266. This I just built with Qtcreator in the usual manor.

## Screenshots

Once the wizard has done it's thing you can use Qtcreator for your ESP8266 project. Qtcreator has the best autocompleation of any IDE so I highly recommend it.

I'm always making mistakes and forgetting things so being able to press ctrl-space to find something it somthing I can't do without anymore. Qt really has spoiled me.

To get the run button working requires adding a make step in the run section of project tab, in my case `mingw32-make.exe flash`. Then for the executable I put in `jserialmon.exe` with command line arguments of `COM8 9600`. Now if I press run the program is compiled, flashed and a serial monitor is started. If I press build it only compiles.
