Gorillacell Module 078: Wifi

Table of Contents

Wi-Fi is an acronym for Wireless Fidelity, a technology that enables wireless connectivity for internet-based applications, such as those in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. It allows devices to communicate and exchange data over local networks or the internet without physical connections.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit includes one (1) Wi-Fi module equipped with an ESP-12E miniature module. Inside the ESP-12E is the ESP8266EX microcontroller, which provides full Wi-Fi capability. The module communicates with the main microcontroller via the Serial UART interface, making it simple to integrate into IoT and wireless networking projects.
