What is ESP8266?
The ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi microchip with full TCP/IP stack and microcontroller capability produced by Shanghai-based Chinese manufacturer, Espressif Systems. The chip first came to the attention with the ESP-01 module, made by a third-party manufacturer, Ai-Thinker.
This small module allows microcontrollers to connect to a Wi-Fi network and make simple TCP/IP connections using Hayes-style commands. It comes with default firmware which supports AT commands. But rather than default firmware you...

MicroPython - the future of IoT
MicroPython is a lean and fast implementation of the Python 3
programming language that is optimised to run on a microcontroller. It has advantages over traditional programming software such
as C/C++ because it is essentially a live development environment and
your write and debug code much faster…in fact 5-10 times faster than
C++.
It ensures that the memory size/microcontroller performance is
optimised and fit for purpose for the application it serves. Many sensor
reading and reporting applications do not require...
Internet Of Things - Impact on our life style and wealth
The Internet of Things is a growing network of everyday objects from industrial machines to consumer goods that can share information and complete tasks while you are busy making other plan. Our Bikes, our homes, our audio system and even our city streets will be connected to the Internet, creating a network of objects that is called the Internet of Things, or IoT for short.
The IoT is creating a new world, a quantifiable and measurable world, made up of millions of sensors and devices that generate incessant streams...
