Hardware PicturesWe'll be using the nodemcu board and programming it with the Arduino IDE.
NodeMCU is a LUA-based interactive firmware for Espressif ESP8622 Wi-Fi SoC, as well as an open source hardware board that contrary to the $3 ESP8266 Wi-Fi modules includes a CP2102 TTL to USB chip for programming and debugging, is breadboard-friendly, and can simply be powered via its micro USB port.
Power: 5V via micro USB port
The pinout for the esp8266 nodemcu board is displayed below:
