Introduction to ESP8266 NODEMCU

NodeMCU is an open source IoT platform. It includes firmware which runs on the ESP8266 WiFi SoC from Espressif, and hardware which is based on the ESP-12 module. The term "NodeMcu" by default refers to the filmware rather than the dev kits. The firware ESP8266 uses the Lua scripting language. It is based on the eLua project, and built on the Espressif Non-OS SDK for ESP8266. It uses many open source projects, such as lua-cjson and spiffs. LUA based interactive firmware for Expressif ESP8622 Wi-Fi SoC, as well as an open source hardware board that contrary to the $3 ESP8266 Wi-Fi modules includes a CP2102 TTL to USB chip for programming and debugging, is breadboard-friendly, and can simply be powered via its micro USB port.
