ESP8266 – ESP8266EX – Serial Interface Wi-Fi Module – ESP-01

ESP8266 is a low cost Wi-Fi to Serial Chip. This chip made it easy to include Wi-Fi connectivity in low cost electronic systems. All kind of Internet connected devices can be designed using this Tiny module of size 25×15 mm.

ESP8266 is a highly integrated chip designed for the needs of a new connected world. It offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the application or to offload all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.

ESP8266 has powerful on-board processing and storage capabilities that allow it to be integrated with the sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry, and the entire solution, including front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.
