What is adafruit ESP8266?
At the Feather HUZZAH’s heart is an ESP8266 WiFi microcontroller clocked at 80 MHz and at 3.3V logic. This microcontroller contains a Tensilica chip core as well as a full WiFi stack. You can progam the microcontroller using the Arduino IDE for an easy-to-run Internet of Things core.
Is the Adafruit Huzzah ESP8266 an Arduino chip?
The Adafruit Huzzah ESP8266 is a very compact card that is based on the Wifi module ESP-12 (ESP8266) from Chinese manufacturer Espressif. The Adafruit Huzzah is not an Arduino but its very versatile chip allows to execute many types of codes (Arduino, Lua, Python, AT commands …) depending on the installed firmware.
What is the name of the Adafruit ESP8266 breakout?
The actual name will depend on the particular board you are compiling for. For the Adafruit Huzzah ESP8266 breakout, the name is the same as your main .ino file, but with .adafruit.bin appended. This file needs to be copied to the web server.
Is it easy to self update ESP8266 firmware?
(Also known as FOTA) Doing so is actually remarkably easy, thanks to the very good support for this exposed by the Arduino board support package. The hardest thing actually becomes getting the web server side set up, rather than the changes required on the device itself.
Can you use Arduino IDE for Huzzah breakout?
Using Arduino IDE. While the HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout comes pre-programmed with NodeMCU’s Lua interpretter, you don’t have to use it! Instead, you can use the Arduino IDE which may be more familar. This will write directly to the firmware, erasing the NodeMCU firmware, so if you want to go back to Lua, use the flasher to re-install it.
