Heh, this was a tad easier than I thought, after a bit of Googling of course.
Followed the instructions here and under Board Manager, select Generic 8266 Module
Once this one done, managed to upload the Blink example sketch and it is working.
I think next step is to try and attach a 16x2 text display then see if I can get it to access the Bacon Ipson API to print out some text!
Unsure of what sort of grunt I can expect out of such a tiny board, but Wi-Fi capable makes it pretty powerful in its own right! Next plans might be using BlueTooth to control the vest (once I fix it and make a new one that fits)
