One unique feature of [http://www.micropython.org/ MicroPython] on the ESP8266 and its WiFi microcontroller is a WebREPL (read-evaluate-print loop, like a Python 'command line') accessible through a webpage. Instead of using a serial connection to the board you can run Python code directly from your browser in a simple terminal. You don't even need to connect the board to a WiFi network, it can create its own that you use to access the WebREPL! | One unique feature of [http://www.micropython.org/ MicroPython] on the ESP8266 and its WiFi microcontroller is a WebREPL (read-evaluate-print loop, like a Python 'command line') accessible through a webpage.
