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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Arduino WiFi Shield is based on the ATWINC1500 module developed with ATMEL, and as the name suggests connects your Arduino to the internet wirelessly. Arduino explain a little more about the ...

According to I Programmer, the on-board Espressif ESP8266 Wi-Fi chipset adds about $2 to the cost of manufacturing the device. We can’t wait. In the meantime, take a peek at our slideshow of ...
