ESP01 Wifi Module

ESP01 ESP8266 based Wifi Module for Arduino

• ESP8266 based Serial WiFi Wireless Transceiver Module
• Add Wifi Connectivity to Arduino, 8051, or any other microcontroller

The ESP8266 ESP-01 is a Wi-Fi module that allows microcontrollers access to a Wi-Fi network via Serial Communication. This module is a self-contained SOC (System On a Chip) that doesn’t necessarily need a microcontroller to manipulate inputs and outputs as you would normally do with an Arduino, for example, because the ESP-01 acts as a small computer.

When you buy the ESP8266 ESP-01, it comes with a pre-installed AT firmware. It is possible to program the chip with another firmware such as NodeMCU, for example. However, AT firmware is compatible with the Arduino IDE, so we are going to use this firmware for this tutorial. If you want to know how to install a different firmware, then read the Miscellaneous section in this tutorial.

Features:

1. Wi-Fi Direct (P2P), soft-AP
2. Integrated TCP/IP protocol stack
3. It features an integrated TR switch, balun, LNA, power amplifier and matching network
4. Equips integrated PLL, regulators, DCXO and power management units
5. Integrated low power 32-bit CPU could be used as an application processor
6. SDIO 1.1 / 2.0, SPI, UART
7. STBC, 1×1 MIMO, 2×1 MIMO
8. A-MPDU & A-MSDU aggregation & 0.4ms guard interval
9. Wake up and transmit packets in < 2ms
10. Standby power consumption of < 1.0mW (DTIM3)
