Why ESP32 & ESP8266 for IoT
Built-in WiFi, more power, same Arduino code.
The Missing Piece
A plain Arduino Uno has no way to reach the internet. For real IoT, you need a board with built-in WiFi, and that is where the ESP family shines. 📡
Meet the ESP8266
The ESP8266 is a tiny, cheap chip with WiFi baked right in. It made low-cost internet projects possible for hobbyists everywhere.
