ESP-12 (ESP8266) wireless WIFI transceiver

This amazingly priced wireless module allows any microcontroller to connect to a 802.11b/g/n wireless network. This in turn provides your microcontroller project with the ability or request data from a server anywhere in the word via a suitable WiFI connection. Control of the module couldn't be simpler as it comes pre-flashed with a serial application allowing it to be controlled via simple 'AT' serial (9600 baud default) commands. 

Please Note: This module operates at 3.3V only. If interfacing to a 5V microcontroller level shifters should be used.
