Few devices have hit the hacker/maker word with quite as large a bang as the ESP8266. [Brian] first reported a new $5 WiFi module back in August. Since then there have been an explosion of awesome ...

This project demonstrates how to interface an ESP8266 microcontroller with a mercury open optical module to detect the presence of objects. The optical module provides a digital output signal based on ...

Security of IoT micro-controllers is a crucial topic, due to the reduced capabilities that characterize such devices. In this paper, we analyze the ESP8266 module to identify its weaknesses, hence ...

This project demonstrates how to use both HSPI and VSPI buses on an ESP32 to interface an RC522 RFID module and an NRF24L01 transceiver, while communicating with an ESP8266. A practical solution fo ...

Light fidelity (Li-Fi) is a widely adopted form of wireless communication that uses optical energy to verify device ...

The ESP8266 WiFi module is the latest, made interesting because it pretty much doesn’t exist outside China. Why is it cool?
