“Here’s a short write-up on a thing I’ve been working on recently. It lets you add a wireless interface to any of your breadboard projects, conveniently implemented as a terminal emulator accessible over WiFi. First, how this came about: It’s a small university project, a device for students to add some “IoT oomph” to their seminar breadboard builds. It’s aimed to be easy to use, hard to damage, and above all, fun to mess with for to the aspiring embedded hackers. I used ESP8266 in my Bachelor’s project, so as the local “ESP expert,” the task of implementing this fell on me. I wanted to build something like this for some time anyway and also needed to check out some of the cheap PCB fabs out there, so I welcomed the idea. As it turned out, fabbing boards at OSH Park is fun!”
