I was facing this same error, and I tried to change ‘http’ to ‘https’ and it worked for me. Now it looks like this: https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

Hi.
Do you get that error during the installation process?
Check this article: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/solved-arduino-ide-esp32-esp8266-installation/

I would appreciate your response Sir.

Hello Sara.
Yes it is a Wemos D1 Mini V4.0.0 .
But the problem lay elsewhere than I expected.
It took a lot of time and I still don’t fully understand what was really wrong with Arduino IDE.
At one point I simply reinstalled the ESP8266 software.
Now it works as it should and remains stable. This is the same version as before.
I then choose LOLIN(WEMOS)D1 R2&mini as upload option.
Thank you for thinking along.
Old man Bertran.

Hi.
Maybe there is not a wemos d1 mini v4.0. You need to select another Wemos D1 Mini option.

Sara

Is anyone working with the Wemos D1 Mini V4.0.0 I don’t see this type in the board selection list of Arduinio ide.
How can I install that board.
Or am I doing something completely wrong.
I can put software in it, but the serial port gives strange characters.
My other esp8266 types work.
Thank you in advance.

No.
You can use a USB cable just fine.

hola confirma que no tengas otra librería declarada, me pasaba lo mismo con un programa que usaba anteriormente y al no tener instalada esa librería en especifico, no podía compilar.

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

la idea es que solo incluyas esa librería si tienes otra, elimínala y haz la prueba para ver si compila.
