ESP-01 Wi-Fi Transceiver module

Description

The ESP-01 Wi-Fi Module is a compact and versatile device designed to provide wireless connectivity to various electronic projects and IoT (Internet of Things) applications. It is based on the ESP8266 microcontroller, which integrates a powerful 32-bit processor, Wi-Fi functionality, and a rich set of peripheral interfaces. The ESP 01 ESP8266 Serial WIFI Wireless Transceiver Module is a self-contained SOC with an integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can provide access to your Wi-Fi network to any microcontroller.

It consists of a printed circuit board with an onboard ESP8266 chip and an integrated antenna. The module supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi standards, allowing it to connect to existing Wi-Fi networks and communicate wirelessly over the internet.

Each ESP8266 module comes pre-programmed with an AT command set firmware, which means you can just connect it to your Arduino device and receive roughly as much Wi-Fi-ability as a Wi-Fi Shield (right out of the box)! The ESP8266 module is a low-cost board with a large and rapidly increasing community. The module provides multiple general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins that can be used to interface with sensors, actuators, and other electronic components.

Remember this:

1. Because the ESP8266 Module is incapable of 5-3V logic shifting, an external Logic Level Converter is required. Please don’t power it with your 5V dev board.
2. The flash disc size on this new version of the ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module has been increased from 512k to 1MB.
