Introduction: Eduino WiFi
Eduino WiFi is a DIY Arduino UNO compatible WiFi development board based on the ESP8266EX. I have designed it to teach children soldering, electronics, programming and to build IOT enabled devices.
One design goal was to keep the board as simple as possible to solder. For absolute beginners I pre-assemble the SMT parts.
The board is supported by the ESP8266 project on github: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino
You can download the project files from here: https://github.com/schirmilabs/Eduino-WiFi
