The ESP8266 chip was originally designed for connected lightbulbs (with functionality like the Phillips Hue we used in the iBeacon BeaconAir project), but soon was used in a variety of applications. And they are all struggling to make it as inexpensive as the ESP8266. Now all the major players are working on inexpensive versions of an IOT chip with WiFi connectivity. They are a fabless semiconductor company that just came out of nowhere and shook up the whole industry. The ESP8266 is made by a privately held company in China called Espressif. We are using the Adafruit ESP8266 Huzzah breakout board for these postings.

Our latest IOT project is called LightSwarm and it uses 5 ESP8266 boards arrayed in a cooperative distributed swarm. We are using this chip for several new IOT projects at SwitchDoc Labs. We are going to show how to use the ESP8266 IOT WiFi processor and breakout board. This is the first of a multi-part posting on the ESP8266.
