Wi-Fi Modules for IoT Projects

Updated: Sep 15

The fundamental function of a #WiFimodule is to give any microcontroller access to a Wi-Fi network. The number of IoT devices is scaling up exponentially and, stable Wi-Fi connectivity is essential for the working of these IoT devices. Wi-Fi modules usually encompass multiple input-output pins of ADCs, DACs, timers, serial communication interfaces, etc. These modules are chosen depending on the requirement of a single or host processor plus a Wi-Fi module. Here are some of the popular Wi-Fi modules that will aid in a wide range of IoT projects,




ESP8266 - Wi-Fi Modules for IoT Projects

ESP8266 Wi-Fi module was produced by Espressif Systems. It has a full Transmission commission protocol and Internet protocol (TCP/IP) stack and enables any microcontroller to connect with the available Wi-Fi network. It is made of a 32 bit RISC microprocessor with a maximum clock speed of 160MHz. This module has 17 GPIO pins, some of which are UART dedicated. ESP8266 module operates in a wide temperature range and encompasses standard digital peripheral interfaces, power amplifiers, antenna switches, etc.
