This recipe will show you how to use the WebREPL feature that is available on the ESP8266 board with MicroPython. The WebREPL is a service that can be started on the board and lets computers on your network wirelessly access the REPL through a web browser. We have seen how to access the REPL using the serial connection in the Using the REPL over a serial connection recipe in this chapter.
This recipe will equip you with the skills you need to get a REPL over Wi-Fi, making it possible to remotely debug and execute code on the board, even when you don't have a direct physical connection to it.
