ESP8266 can act as both Station / WIFI client (STA_IF interface) and Access Point (AP_IF interface). AP_IF interface is active by default in MycroPython firmware on ESP826 . In the earlier post, we connected to the access point (AP mode) of ESP8266 and used WebREPL to remotely control switch
So far, we have flashed MicroPython firmware onto an ESP8266 and setup WebREPL to run programs over WIFI on the chip. Now it's time for a hands-on excercise. We'll remotely switch on/off and control brightness of an LED using MicroPython WebREPL.
