July 11 – Day 2 – Getting Started with the ESP8266

There are many different network protocols that devices can use to connect to the internet but a common way is to use Wi-Fi. Sensor nodes should be low power and using a microcontroller and a Wi-Fi module is not a great solution. In this session, we will examine the ESP8266 which is a combined Wi-FI / microcontroller module and examine how to get the ESP8266 setup using Micro Python.
