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...

JavaScript microcontroller you can program wirelessly - Puck.js
Many companies have designed their own Bluetooth beacon mostly to find objects such as your keys or pets. Puck.js is also a Bluetooth 4.2 LE beacon, but has many more features including compatibility with the upcoming Bluetooth 5.0 standard, and some GPIOs programmable with JavaScript (Espruino implementation), and corresponding visual programming editor.
Puck.js beacon supports Google’s Eddystone and Apple’s iBeacon to advertise itself to other devices, as well as Web Bluetooth
currently supported by Chrome, but with other...
The MicroPython Tutorial
MicroPython natively supports the Pyboard (https://github.com/micropython/pyboard). The Pyboard uses the STM32F405RGT6 MCU (MicroController Unit) which uses the ARM Cortex M4 core, while The WiPy (http://wipy.io/) is an Internet-of-Things (IoT) development platform which is a circuit board with a Wifi chip.Running your first script Once you get connected with Pyboard, There will be a drive 0:/ by the pyboard, and should contain the following 4 files:
boot.py -- this script is executed when the pyboard boots up. It sets up...
Node.js Vs MicroPython for IoT
Here are the major differences between Node.js and MicroPython for IoT.Node.js 1- Node.js built to handle asynchronous I/O from the ground up that make it good choice for IoT.2-Dependency resolution with npm is so much better. Although if you have to develop and run the code in both Windows and Linux in rare cases you may see some quirks.3- Right now there are two new micro-controller boards seeking funding for Node.js - one on Kickstarter ( Espruino), and the other on Dragon Innovation’s new crowdfunding platform(Tessel ).4-...
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...
