Only part of its potential has been revealed!

This board is really good! I'm currently using it as the brain of a small robot with two servos that receives commands on port 80 from an ESP8266 remote. At the moment, Bluetooth and AnalogWrite() are not yet implemented in the Arduino library, but PWM is fairly easy to implement using ledcWrite() and related functions. I downloaded the Arduino library from GitHub /espressif/arduino-esp32, copied the library to Arduino/hardware/espressif/esp32/ and then ran the script in the /tools folder to load the Espressif binary blob. As Joey said, I installed the Node32s board in the IDE and got the correct pinout, but I suspect most options will work since the board follows the standard devkit pinout. There is a nice image at the end of the README on GitHub. There are 2 buttons. As with the NodeMCU, one button acts as a reset and the other is bound to GPIO0 for boot or user functions. A blue LED is connected to GPIO2. There is also a red LED which I believe is just a power indicator.

Pros
  • Practical thing
Cons
  • Some problems
