ESP8266 packs a lot of punch. It is not just a WiFi module, it also has a decent micro-controller in built. Now the best part is the community has made programming this inbuilt micro-controller extremely easy by adding Arduino support. In this small tutorial, I will show you how easy it is to add Arduino Support
