Content preview from ESP8266 Internet of Things Cookbook

Preface

The ESP8266 chip is a powerful and cheap microcontroller with an onboard Wi-Fi connection. It is also very easy to use, thanks to the compatibility with the Arduino IDE. Therefore, it's just the perfect chip to build the Internet of Things (IoT) projects.

Inside this book, we'll see how to build IoT projects using the ESP8266, via several step-by-step tutorials. At the end, you will know how to use all the functions of the ESP8266, and you will be able to build your own projects with this amazing Wi-Fi chip.

What this book covers

Chapter 1, Configuring the ESP8266, will be about getting started with the ESP8266, and learning how to configure the ESP8266 and all the hardware/software components that you need to use it.
