Search for "esp8266" in the Learn sections of Adafruit's and Sparkfun's sites. There's also esp8266.com. I think the most amazing thing I've seen is a VNC client running on an ESP8266 with a LCD touchscreen.
The "raw" parts are super-cheap but when getting started I think it's much easier to get started on a still pretty cheap breakout board. I have a Sparkfun ESP8266 Thing I haven't started playing with yet but if getting one today I'd get the Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ("Feather" is their new line of micro controller boards that share a form factor, "HUZZAH" is what they call all their ESP8266 products).
- danielvf 11y agoLet me second the Adafruit Feather for getting stated with the ESP8266. Here's a link: https://www.adafruit.com/products/2821 https://www.adafruit.com/products/2821
- gh02t 11y agoThere's also the WeMos boards, which can be had for $3-4. Those are my workhorses. http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/02/19/4-wemos-d1-mini-esp8266-board-supports-shields-with-a-temperature-sensor-a-button-a-relay-or-a-micro-sd-slot/ http://www.cnx-software.com/2016/02/19/4-wemos-d1-mini-esp82...
- StavrosK 11y agoI can also recommend the WeMos D1 mini, it's the best I've seen so far.
