Preface

This book is all about robotics projects based on the original ESP8266 microcontroller board and some variants of ESP8266 boards. The ESP8266 Wi-Fi module is a self-contained SOC with an integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can give any microcontroller access to your Wi-Fi network. It has powerful processing and storage capabilities. It also supports application hosting and Wi-Fi networking.

The first chapter explains everything that you need to build your development environment with basic hardware and software components. This book uses an original ESP8266 board and an AdafruitFeather HUZZAH ESP8266 board for all the robotic projects. You will also learn how to use different types of chassis kits, motors, motor drivers, power supplies and distribution boards, sensors, and actuators to build robotic projects that can be controlled via Wi-Fi. You will also use line sensors, ArduCam, wheel encoders, and a Gripper Kit to build more specialized robots.
