I have a few Newbie Question

[alberk8]

I am new to Arduino and have a few questions:

1. An I right to say that the websocket code is to run on the arduino ?
2. What ESP module must I use ? Is NodeMCU ESP32 compatible ?

Thank you.

Hi,
Welcome to Arduino!

1. You are right. You can think of Websockets as a language (like English) which devices use to talk with each other, and every device need to know the language. The Websockets library basically takes the raw data being transferred over the network and translates it into stuff you can work with in Arduino (variables and functions).
2. Every esp32/esp8266 module will work just fine! That's because the code runs on the chip itself, and the peripherals don't really change anything in that regard.

Thank you for using the library,

Have fun,
Gil.
