File serving using ESP8266 Feather HUZZAH? larger files?
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2016 3:53 pmHi Everyone,
I'm just starting to research some boards for a proof-of-concept application to serve large-ish (1-2mb) files (PDF's) via http with the Adafruit ESP8266 Feather Huzzah, which has 4mb of ram on board) and looks somewhat promising.
So the question is, would this even be possible? Any thoughts on limitations etc? I'm mainly interested in the ESP8266 due to it's low power requirements (and cost) vs Raspberry Pi's etc.
Perhaps I'm dreaming a little too big for the ESP8266, but figured I would ask those who know a little more than I do.
