There’s even a MAX232 on the board so it can talk to RS-232 devices. The hardware is compatible with the standard Arduino IDE as a “Generic ESP8266 Module”, so you’ll have no problem using ...

That is quite common for boards like the esp8266 that require a button push or special programming mode. Next, compile and upload after resetting your esp8266 board while pressing the program button.

ESP8266 MQTT Client for Home Automation This repository contains an Arduino sketch for an ESP8266 board that acts as an MQTT client. It connects to a WiFi network, publishes messages to an MQTT topic, ...

Sweet! That turns this into an Arduino compatible board which solves something that has long bothered me. I’ve seen a ton of really simple Arduino projects that use the ESP8266 externally.

This project demonstrates how to send SMS messages from an ESP8266 microcontroller without requiring any additional microcontroller like Arduino or PIC. The ESP8266 is programmed directly using the ...
