  • Even though it is tempting to use these frugal 8266 boards, it is just not advisable, because their Wifi functionality has priority over everything else and will thus *mess with any other time or space sensitive item... Best is a combination of plain vanilla 8266 doing its destined duty - Wifi / Connectivity - and bother a different 'system' with the rest of the application.

    There is the Espruino-Wifi and similarly the Original and Pico Espruino boards combined with a plain vanilla 8266 over serial, and they all do that just fine. @Gordon integrated them tightly very nicely but let the loosely coupled components do their wok. (Even very successful expressif - the 8266 creator - follows that approach/advice in ther own product developmet/evolution...).
