Features:

The Makerfocus 4pcs ESP8266 Esp-01 Serial Wireless Wifi Transceiver Module Compatible with Arduino provides three modes: AP, STA, and AP + STA. With the AP mode, you can create a wireless access point that allows clients to connect directly to the module. The STA mode allows the module to connect to an existing wireless network as a client. The AP+STA mode offers both AP and STA modes at the same time.

The modules also have an onboard switching circuit, allowing you to switch between the programming mode and the run mode. This feature ensures that you can easily program the module and then switch it to the run mode for operation without any interruptions.

The modules work with the standard AT command set, which allows you to use the same commands you would use with other Arduino boards. The ESP8266 ESP-01 has a 1MB flash memory chip, which gives users ample space for program code and storing data.

Installation:

The Makerfocus 4pcs ESP8266 Esp-01 Serial Wireless Wifi Transceiver Module Compatible with Arduino is easy to install on your Arduino board. The modules have standard pins that can easily connect to your breadboard or Arduino board.

To get started, you need to download and install the ESP8266 board support package on your Arduino IDE. This package contains the necessary libraries and files that make it easy to program the module.

Once you have installed the board support package on your Arduino IDE, connect the ESP8266 ESP-01 module to your Arduino board and start coding.

Compatibility:

The Makerfocus 4pcs ESP8266 Esp-01 Serial Wireless Wifi Transceiver Module Compatible with Arduino is compatible with Arduino boards with 3.3V power. These include the Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega, and many others. However, it is essential to check the power requirements of your Arduino board before connecting the module to avoid damaging the module.
