Summary

In this first chapter of the book, we learned the fundamentals about the ESP8266. We first learned about all the different boards that are available for your ESP8266 projects. Then, we saw how to wire your ESP8266 modules. Finally, we saw how to install the Arduino IDE and to configure it for the ESP8266, and we ended the chapter by actually uploading a very simple sketch to the ESP8266.

In the next chapter, we are going to use the tools we set up and build some basic projects using the ESP8266 Wi-Fi chip.
