Description
ESP8266 Serial Wifi Wireless Transceiver Module is a low-cost, integrated Wi-Fi transceiver module designed for microcontroller projects. It operates on a single-chip SoC (System on Chip) and can be used to add Wi-Fi connectivity to microcontroller projects. The module can be connected to a microcontroller via serial communication, and it supports both station and soft access point modes, allowing it to connect to Wi-Fi networks or create its own network. The module can be programmed using the Arduino platform and has a small form factor, making it suitable for compact projects and wearable devices.
Features
The first series of modules made with the ESP8266 by the third-party manufacturer AI-Thinker and remain the most widely available.They are collectively referred to as “ESP-xx modules”.
