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.

A lot of people have used ESP8266 to add inexpensive WiFi connectivity to their projects, but [Oscar] decided to take it one step further and program an Arduino over WiFi with the ESP8266.

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 ...

In order to use the ESP-01 Wi-Fi relay module, a programmer/programming adapter is required to program the ESP-01 module (see below). Also it is pretty easy to make your own programmer, or you can ...

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 ...

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 ...
