Hi,
We embeded the esp8266 chips into our own devices. I personally program the firmware for esp8266. I used Arduino IDE to upload firmware to esp8266. I want to use the MAC address to identify each esp8266 chip, then store them in my database AWS. This way, when the esp8266 chip tries to connect to our server, I can look it up in my database and verify it by its MAC address.
I was told that manufacture reuses the MAC address in different regions. This means I cannot use MAC address to uniquely identify individual WiFi chip. Could someone one give me some idea?
Extra:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/921 , it seems I can get the esp8266 chip id.
