But sometimes, you need to install some pieces of software from online resources. The classic case is Python modules. Let’s take a practical example with the PyMISP which

Running LISP on an ESP8266

LISP is a polarizing language. Either you love it or you hate it. But we’ll put aside our personal preferences to bring you a good hack. In this case a LISP environment running on an ESP8266.
