The ESP8266 from Makeblock is the main component of the Me WiFi module which can be used to communicate with a PC or smart phone. As a low power consumption UART-WiFi pass-through module using serial communication, the ESP8266 can be set to connect with WiFi to construct a WiFi remote control cart, a remote control lamp, etc.
Its blue/grey ID means that RJ25 cable should be used to connect it to the port with blue or grey ID on Makeblock Orion.
