Description
WiFi-enabled microcontroller with pre-soldered headers
Onboard FTDI USB-to-Serial
Can be programmed with Arduino IDE
Integrated TCP/IP protocol stack, TR switch, balun, LNA, power amplifier and matching network
Operating range: 3.3V- 3.6V (this version does not have a built-in LiPo charger)
+19.5dBm output power in 802.11b mode
The ESP8266 Thing Development Board w/ Headers is a development board that has been solely designed around the ESP8266, with an integrated FTDI USB-to-Serial chip. The ESP8266 is a WiFi-enabled microcontroller. Like any microcontroller, it can be programmed to blink LEDs, trigger relays, monitor sensors or automate coffee makers. With an integrated WiFi controller, the ESP8266 is a one-stop shop for almost any internet-connected project.
To top it all off, the ESP8266 is incredibly easy to use; firmware can be developed in Arduino and uploaded over a simple serial interface. The ESP8266 Thing Development Board breaks out all of the module’s pins with pre-soldered headers, and the USB-to-serial converter means you don’t need any peripheral components to program the chip. Just plug in a USB cable, download the Arduino board definitions, and start IoT-ing.
Features
The pins are broken out to two breadboard-compatible rows
The USB connector sits next to an optional power supply input
It also features an ON/OFF switch, controlling power to the ESP8266
LEDs toward the inside of the board indicate power, charge and status of the IC
The ESP8266’s maximum voltage is 3.6V, so the Thing has an onboard 3.3V regulator to deliver a safe, consistent voltage to the IC
I/O pins also run at 3.3V; you’ll need to level shift any 5V signals running into the IC
The board includes footprints for a 2-pin JST, 2-pin 3.5mm screw terminal, or a simple 0.1"-pitch 2-pin header
Unlike the original ESP8266 Thing, the ESP8266 Thing Dev Board does not have a built-in LiPo charger
The Thing Dev Board even includes a PCB trace antenna as a default WiFi antenna. If you need to connect a more sensitive antenna, or need to route outside an enclosure, a U.FL connector is also available on the board.
If you are not satisfied for whatever reason with a Product you bought on the Site, it is possible to return it for refund within 30 days from the date you received it unless otherwise indicated in the Product listing. You must first advise the Vendor associated with your order in your account to obtain a return authorization (‘’RA’’) number before returning a Product. (‘’RA’’) numbers are valid for 30 days, within which time the returned Products should be received by the Vendor. No returns will be accepted without having previously obtained an (‘’RA’’) number. The Product must then be returned in its original packaging (in perfect condition for resale) with its receipt and your (‘’RA’’) number. Reimbursement will be denied for any Products which do not conform to the above mentioned conditions.
Build-it-yourself Robot Parts are not refundable once assembled. Robots & Kits requiring assembly or soldering are also not refundable once assembled, soldered or modified in any way. All sales of robotic software and apps are final and cannot be refunded or exchanged. Returns are not accepted on special orders and clearance items except when they are found defective, in which case the Product may be repaired or replaced at the Vendor’s discretion. 20% Restocking fees may apply if you are returning a large quantity of the same Product that was ordered specifically for you from the manufacturer.
Please note that all items will be reimbursed within 7 to 14 days of receiving the Product (shipping fees excluded). You must also cover the cost of returning the Product. Shipping fees will only be refunded if the return is a result of a shipping error on our part. Cleaning fees of USD 100 may also be charged if a domestic robot is returned and has not been properly cleaned.
