EEPROM for ESP8266
Posted: Sun Feb 15, 2015 5:32 pmHello!
I recently find out about the ESP8266 and I fell in love with it. I saw even though you can control it over serial with another MCU, you can even program it, so no additional MCU is needed. To use it in production, I'd need some persistent storage, EEPROM, for example. Most EEPROM memories are I2C, and I wanted to know if there's I2C libraries for the ESP8266. I'm going to use it for multiple applications, such as a temperature probe or a window controller, and I plan on make them be an AP and have a phone connect to it and send the network configuration (we'll use WPA2 and the SSID may change, so we need to configure it somehow). Therefore, I need somewhere to store the network configuration, as it won't be hardcoded in the program.
Thanks for the help
