Re: ESP8266,ATmega8,Temperature and MIT App Inventor
If you have few I/O 's to handle, should also consider using the ESP8266 standalone, what means, acting as CPU, not as a "shield" module. It is possible to run Arduino sketches on it. I took this approach to one of my last designs. The MIT application inventor is a nice tool to build programs for Android, but just for small applications; it is very difficult to deal with it as the program get more and more functionalities, particularly on different screens (it has limitations to reuse resources from one to another). A side note: There were announced that a new version of MIT Application Inventor is about to be released with support for IOS as well, which is a strong argument for choosing this platform for developing small programs for mobile.
