Esp8266 NodeMCU

  1. 1. ESP8266 NodeMCU Arduino Killer Or How I learned to stop worrying and ...
  2. 2. Arduino Nano • Arduino version used for our FW-Dev workshop • Atmel ATmega328 16MHz • 14 Digital I/O Pins • 8 Analog Input Pins • DC Current per I/O Pin 40 mA • 32 KB Flash • 2 KB RAM • No WiFi on-board • WiFi options were expensive  We used 433MHz radio to send data off- board
  3. 3. Wi-Fi Shield • Expensive. $85/each. Wow • 802.11b/g • WEP and WPA2 • Connection with Arduino on SPI port • Onboard micro-SD card slot
  4. 4. CC3000 Wi-Fi • Expensive. $35/each • Breakout board with chip antenna • 802.11b/g • Built in TCP/IP stack • Can connect to an access point but it cannot be an access point. • SSID scanning, connection, DHCP, DNS lookup, ping • SPI Interface • Buggy and ornery, easy to brick
  5. 5. ESP8266 • ESP-01 • Originally was $5 • Now < $2 on eBay • Simple serial interface • AT commands • Can be Client or • Access Point
  6. 6. To the Cheap Cloud
  7. 7. ESP8266 Wifi Module • Self contained Expressif SoC with integrated • TCP/IP protocol stack • 32-bit RISC Xtensa CPU 80 MHz • 64 KB of instruction RAM, 96 KB of data RAM • 512 KB to 4 MB (up to 16MB is supported) external Flash • IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi • 16 GPIO pins • SPI, I²C • UART on dedicated pins • 2nd transmit-only UART on GPIO2 • 1 10-bit AD • The ESP8266 is capable of either hosting an application or offloading all Wi-Fi networking functions to a micro-controller • ESP-01 PITA to program
  8. 8. NodeMCU • 32-bit RISC CPU 80 MHz (OC 160MHz) • 64 KB of instruction RAM, 96 KB of data RAM • 4MB flash • IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi • 13 GPIO pins – Not 5v Tolerant! • SPI, I²C • 1 10-bit AD • CP2102 USB • Can be programmed with Lua, C/C++, Python, Basic, JavaScript, Arduino IDE
  9. 9. NodeMCU DEVKIT V1.0
  10. 10. Saturday Workshop? • Similar to Arduino Workshop. • Use same IDE and language to program a more powerful chip with built in WiFi • For nominal fee ($20?), you'll get parts, code and ~4 hrs of instruction for projects • Parts: • NodeMCU • Sensors (Temperature/Humidity or?) • Display (OLED or LCD) • Breadboard, wires • Mid to End May?
  11. 11. Example Agenda • ESP8266/NodeMCU overview • Setup development environment • Build a Wifi client and pull data • Read sensors and push data to web • Create a Web server, web page with sensor data and access from PC/Phone • Display sensor data on graphic display • Create Wifi Access Point with SSID • All code and tutorials will be put on github
