Node MCU ESP8266

NodeMcu ESP8266



The NodeMcu is an open-source firmware and development kit that helps you to prototype your IoT product with few Lua script lines.


 What is the ESP8266?

ESP8266 is the name of an infamous WiFi module that is a system on a chip (SoC) developed by Espressif Systems, a company based in Shanghai. Originally used with Arduino boards to WiFi-enable hardware projects, it soon became a cheap standalone Arduino-compatible development board. It can function in complete autonomy, without an additional microcontroller like Arduino board for example.


Home automation and IOT – connecting devices to a network is one ever-growing, big trend nowadays. Given its cheap price,  the user friendly setup, and its huge community that contributes with open source libraries and projects, you will immediately see why this chip is receiving so much interest.


This mcu (microcontroller unit) can be used to control and monitor engineered systems and products, sensor data logging and more. All of this makes it the perfect piece of hardware for connected home automation projects. It comes in many shapes and forms, with the NodeMcu (with the newest ESP8266-E12 chip) being the most popualar development board among them.Image: NodeMcu development board is the most popular ESP8266 variant.

Sixth Senses  Sixth sense (ESP extra sensory perception)is a power of perception beyond the five senses.  It is an inner sense of guidance that can help you navigate your way through life, to better relationships, health, well-being, and success. It is a cumulative power of all your other senses - sight, sound, taste, touch, smell - that culminates in a stronger sense of inner knowing.

Neurodivergence -  Mental illness or Mad Scientist? Who Is Neurodiverse/Neurotypical? The terms "neurodivergent" and "neurodiverse" refer to people whose thought patterns, behaviors, or learning styles fall outside of what is considered "normal," or neurotypical of humans. The concept of neurodiversity is not necessarily disabilities. Some differences can be real strengths. Who are Neurodivergent? The neurodiverse population includes people with specific diagnoses that are considered developmental disorders (as opposed to intellectual disabilities or mental illnesses). These include but are not limited to: Autism : A developmental disorder that includes differences in social communication skills, fine and gross motor skills, speech, and more Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ): A neurodevelopmental disorder that includes features of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity Tourette's syndrome : A tic disorder that starts in childhood ...

Ozobots - Educational  bots Ozobot is a small, smart robot designed to introduce students to coding and robotics in a fun, hands-on way,  In its basic form, the Ozobot uses optic sensors to follow a drawn black line. The addition of color codes allows the robot to change direction or speed and allows students to create cool moves like a backwalk or tornado. Nader Hamda sets out to make small robots with a big mission. His 10-year-old daughter names the project Ozobot. After two years of testing and prototyping, Bit—the original Ozobot—is unveiled at CES in Las Vegas, Aug 2014 . Key Features and Functionality: Programmable : Ozobots can be programmed through color codes drawn on paper or via the OzoBlockly platform, allowing users to control its movements and actions.  Screen-Free Coding: The color code method is a screen-free way to learn coding, making it accessible for young learners.  Interactive Learning: Ozobots encourage hands-on learning and problem-solving, ...
