The ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module is a self contained System on Chip (SOC) with an integrated TCP/IP protocol stack and can give any microcontroller access to your Wi-Fi network. It is capable of either hosting an application or offloading all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.This book contains practical recipes that will help you master all ESP8266 functionalities.
Then you will focus on core topics such as on-board processing, sensors, GPIOs, programming, networking, integration with external components, and so on. We will also teach you how to leverage Arduino using the ESP8266 and you'll learn about its libraries, file system, OTA updates, and so on.
The book also provide recipes on web servers, testing, connecting with the cloud, and troubleshooting techniques. Towards the end, we will use these concepts and create an interesting project (IOT).By the end of the book, readers will be proficient enough to use the ESP8266 board efficiently.
