The ESP8266 is a WiFi-enabled SOC (system on chip) which can run open-source firmware, such as nodeMCU (an eLua interpreter), Ai-Thinker (a simple TCP/IP stack to act as a serial-to-TCP WiFi adapter), a bootloader to use with the ArduinoIDE or any other program written with the SDK (software development kit).
The ESP8266 chip can be readily purchased, presoldered on a small PCB module with different pins broken out for easy access.
