I have actually done a fair bit of dev work on this chip (a custom C++ IDE), it is a neat little device, with the emphasis on little. That is both a plus and a minus. Plus, it is cheap, minus, it is little, not a lot of processing power there. (forget Python if you are doing anything serious).
The way I worked around it is put all the processing in the cloud and basically the vpn passes straight through it. Interestingly, it actually is being used in a number of consumer products, but for very basic iot apps (I believe there is a wifi enable light socket and an automobile ODB link device things like that).
Fun device to mess with :)
- dbcurtis 11y agoHave you even tried MicroPython on it? Granted, you need to consider performance -- where you need it, and where you don't. But is is quite easy in MicroPython to create a C-extension module for performance critical components, and have the luxury of a Python REPL loop for debugging high-level logic.
- zw123456 11y agoInteresting idea. The client wanted C, but that could make dev work easier perhaps.
- nathancahill 11y agoGreat, but don't say "forget Python if you are doing anything serious", unless you just read the title and not the article. The article pretty clearly talks about MicroPython.
- StavrosK 11y agoThe demos look impressive, I urge everyone to back this project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micropython-on-the-esp8266-beautifully-easy-iot/?ref=kicktraq https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/214379695/micropython-o...
