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.

When we first heard about it a few weeks ago, we knew the ESP8266 UART to WiFi module was a special beast. It was cheap, gave every microcontroller the ability to connect to a WiFi network ...

That is because the latter (D1 R2) has a ESP8266-12F (Not 12E) Wi-Fi module on board. Note ... similar to the good old WeMos D1 R1 board that uses the Arduino Uno layout. It’s still very useful as the ...

Step forward YouTuber CNLohr, who appears to have developed a reasonably low-tech way to analyze the WiFi strength of any 3D space. Using just a WiFi module ... powered ESP8266 chip to ping ...

Those of you that enjoy using the Arduino platform to build electronic projects, a new WifiDuino device which has this week launched over on the Indiegogo crowd funding website, ma be worth more ...

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 ...
