"only" 78 microamps is a LOT of current for ultra low power applications like this. On top of that, ~~the ESP8266 doesn't seem to implement wifi, it's just 2.4

On top of that, ~~the ESP8266 doesn't seem to implement wifi, it's just 2.4ghz general purpose radio.~~
There is definitely some cleverness happening here that allows them to get this to where it is. I'd love to get one just to tear it down.
- icebraining 12y agoNo, the ESP8266 does implement Wifi. And not only that, as it can also run custom code, so it could be the only IC in the package.
- blhack 12y agoOh wow! I didn't realize that! Awesome!
