NodeMCU Connect Things EASY
An open-source firmware and development kit that helps you to prototype your IOT product within a few Lua script lines
Features: Open-source, Interactive, Programmable, Low cost, Simple, Smart, WI-FI enabled.
1)Advanced API for hardware IO, which can dramatically reduce the redundant work for configuring and manipulating hardware. Code like arduino, but interactively in Lua script.
2)Event-driven API for network applicaitons, which faciliates developers writing code running on a 5mm*5mm sized MCU in Nodejs style. Greatly speed up your IOT application developing process.
3)Less than $2 WI-FI MCU ESP8266 integrated and esay to prototyping development kit. We provide the best platform for IOT application development at the lowest cost.

Got one, got it acting as an AP, and reading temp sensor, now just need to get it running a little LCD display

Does AI have a board with stepper control?
