ESP8266: Getting Started
An introduction to the powerful and low-cost ESP8266 Wifi microcontroller
Watch Promo Enroll in CourseGetting Started with the ESP8266 is a step-by-step course designed to help you create projects using the amazing ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller board even if you are an absolute beginner in electronics, programming, or both.
Getting Started with the ESP8266 is a 6 modules step-by-step video course in which you will learn everything you need to know about the ESP8266, starting from the absolute basics.
I really used all the experience I acquired during all the years I worked with the ESP8266, in order to create those step-by-step tutorials that will teach anyone how to create projects with this amazing WiFi chip.
If you already have experience working with the Arduino, then you will be able to bring it over to the ESP8266. You will use the same IDE that you are familiar with from your work with the Arduino. And the programming is also almost identical.
You can think of the ESP8266 as a turbo-charged Arduino Uno, with integrated Wifi. But while a genouine Arduino Uno can cost $30, you can get an ESP8266 board for just $5!
If you are serious about creating your own connected projects, this is the course for you.
