[Noisebridge-discuss] ESP8266 - $5 wifi module w/ GPIO, Lua firmware, etc. - Group Order?

[Casey Callendrello]

Hey,
Anyone been following the ESP8266 thing? It looks awesome - a 3.3v
802.11n-talking module for like $5. People discovered it has a pretty
useful general purpose µc on it already, so they built a Lua firmware
for it.

The specs are at https://nurdspace.nl/ESP8266 and

I was gonna do an order for a few, and if anyone wants to join in, I'll
happily pool an order. The best price is currently $4.36[1] from eBay,
and it takes a few weeks to arrive. If anyone has a preferred supplier,
then I'm all ears.
