Review on HiLetgo Internet Development Wireless Micropython Networking Products by Craig Walters

Revainrating 5 out of 5

great cheap little module computers and accessories

this is my first time experimenting with the esp8266 module. I have ordered various esp8266-12E modules from HiLetgo. It took me a month and a half to get to my doorstep from China but again I live in Colombia parts arrived in perfect condition and sealed in an antistatic bag all modules worked the only thing I had to figure out was how to flash them actually it's not hard to figure it out its not that hard linux has native USB serial support UART bridge controller (Ubuntu) Windows requires driver installed -> download here: https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers. aspx To make things easier not harder I flashed the binary image from Nodemcu to the linuxplug-in module and run the following commands as root or sudo# dmesg

Pros
  • like everything before
Cons
  • poorly thought out
