The ESP8266 Serial-to-WiFi adapter created by Espressif has seen a wide adoption as a cost-effective solution for IoT and WiFi-capable devices. This tiny-sized System On a Chip (SoC) includes an 80 MHz microcontroller with a full WiFi front-end (both as client and access point) as well as a full TCP/IP stack with DNS. Because the ESP8266 comes only in a Surface-Mount package, a few different vendors have developed modules labeled ESP-NN where NN are numbers ranging from 01 to 13 (at the time of this writing).
Although most ESP-NN modules are intended to be mounted on a PCB via castellated pins, the ESP-01 includes a set of 0.1in-spaced female pins that can be used to easily connect it to a solderless breadboard! Please note that because the ESP8266 doesn't have a native USB interface, all ESP-NN modules need an external USB to Serial adapter (e.g., FTDI FT232 USB to Serial UART adapter) to receive data from a computer's USB connection.
