Few devices have hit the hacker/maker word with quite as large a bang as the ESP8266. [Brian] first reported a new $5 WiFi module back in August. Since then there have been an explosion of awesome … ...

Despite a wealth of tutorials for setting up and writing code for the ESP8266 WiFi module, there has not been much of anything on programming this cheap wireless module with the Arduino IDE. Finall… ...

In this post we are reviewing the ESP-01 Wi-Fi Relay Module. ... (see below). Also it is pretty easy to make your own programmer, or you can program the ESP-01 module with the help of the Arduino IDE.

That is because the latter (D1 R2) has a ESP8266-12F (Not 12E) Wi-Fi module on board. Note, ESP8266-12F is an enhanced version of ESP8266-12E. ... D1 Wi-Fi board – with the Arduino IDE on Windows.

Someone has invented a way to add Wi-Fi to a standard Arduino Uno, by proposing a module that drops into the DIL socket normally reserved for the ATmega328 – it will not work with Unos that have a ...

Arduino has not included active power consumption on its data sheet but, according to the uBlox datasheet, module consumption is 286mA (Wi-Fi Tx 802.11n HT20 16.5dBm 100% duty-cycle) or 220mA ...

But instead of just cracking open the device to upgrade it with a second screen, they took the hack several steps further, adding an ESP8266 wifi module and a rechargeable battery without ...
