This book is all about getting started with Internet of Things using Nodemcu, it’s a development kit made out of ESP8266, which is very cheap Wi-Fi microcontroller, and in this book you can find How to program the Nodemcu from Arduino IDE This book will teach you how to start with “Hello World” and ends with uploading or controlling your Sensor data’s from all over the world. You will learn in-depth details about ESP8266 Chip, Modules, Features & Benefits. This book will help you understand the basic concepts of IOT, its benefits, advantages and applications in various industries starting from Home Automation to Healthcare Monitoring to Industrial Transformation. what are you still waiting for? Go ahead and enjoy the IOT ride with Nodemcu …
This book will teach you programming NodeMCU using Arduino IDE. If you want to learn about the world of IOT and how it changes the world we live in, this is a resource book to get started with.
I chose two stars because although there is some useful information in the book, it is poorly written and barely understandable. In places, it merely copies directly from other documents, including sales jargon, without references. The book spends little time explaining the details of NodeMCU programming and entirely too much time going over basics that lend little insight into the working examples. I mean, how many times do most of us require an explanation of what an LED is and how it works?
There are some errors in the wiring pictures, e.g. showing both ends of a POT connected to the same rail on a breadboard when it should be connected across the rails, etc.
In the positive side, the projects are interesting, progressive in difficulty, and illustrative of some techniques that I was curious about.
Although the English in this book feels translated at times and i had to guess what the attempt at grammar is trying to say, I still found the information I was hoping to acquire. The examples and demos where pretty good and very practical.
I liked the progression and the focus on the ESP8266 platforms. If you can get past the English grammar issues and some digital formatting issues on the Kindle, the information is rather solid. I would have rated it higher if the author had someone edit the work prior to publication.
