eelcor 18 Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Wow, The thread has been hijacked, but with a very good reason! I have been looking into the ESP8266 as a standalone controller and with the arduino fork it works like a charm. All the options to have cheap wifi start to dazzle me! I am currently also working on a back end with python, MongoDB and Flask. My original plans with an internet controlled greenhouse keep on changing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadrunner84 466 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Does anyone know about the performance of this puppy? I want to do streaming video, but this might very well be too big a bone for this tiny beast... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
semicolo 39 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The default AT commands mode communication speed the modules come with is 57600/115200 bps, maybe if you run the code directly on the micro you can get a better speed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B@tto 51 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 There is the MT7681 too : https://labs.mediatek.com/site/global/developer_tools/mediatek_7681/whatis_7681/index.gsp I tested it, it's better than ESP8266, but a little less cheap : ~6$ But as it is in pre production, it's better documented Quote Link to post Share on other sites
manaia 2 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 There is a fork of the arduino IDE that supports these using the xtensa toolchain ?https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino ? ?http://hackaday.com/2015/03/28/arduino-ide-support-for-the-esp8266/ ?Likely a lot of our code will easily run on it ? ?
