ESP8266 Internet of Things Cookbook
À propos de cet e-book
This book is targeted at IOT enthusiasts who are well versed with electronics concepts and have a very basic familiarity with the ESP8266. Some experience with programming will be an advantage.
What You Will LearnMeasure data from a digital temperature and humidity sensor using the ESP8266Explore advanced ESP8266 functionalitiesControl devices from anywhere in the world using MicroPythonTroubleshoot issues with cloud data monitoringTweet data from the Arduino boardBuild a cloud-connected power-switch with the ESP8266Create an ESP8266 robot controlled from the cloudIn DetailThe ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module is a self contained System on Chip (SOC) with an integrated TCP/IP protocol stack and can give any microcontroller access to your Wi-Fi network. It is capable of either hosting an application or offloading all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.
This book contains practical recipes that will help you master all ESP8266 functionalities. You will start by configuring and customizing the chip in line with your requirements. Then you will focus on core topics such as on-board processing, sensors, GPIOs, programming, networking, integration with external components, and so on. We will also teach you how to leverage Arduino using the ESP8266 and you'll learn about its libraries, file system, OTA updates, and so on. The book also provide recipes on web servers, testing, connecting with the cloud, and troubleshooting techniques. Programming aspects include MicroPython and how to leverage it to get started with the ESP8266. Towards the end, we will use these concepts and create an interesting project (IOT).
By the end of the book, readers will be proficient enough to use the ESP8266 board efficiently.
Style and approachThis recipe-based book will teach you to build projects using the ESP8266.
