Review on 📶 MakerFocus 2pcs ESP8266 NodeMCU LUA CP2102 ESP-12E Internet WiFi Development Board - Serial Wireless Module - Internet for Arduino IDE/Micropython - Includes Free Adapter Board for ESP8266 ESP-01 and nRF24L01+ by Amy Davidson

Tried to order them twice, 4 pieces each time (2x2 pieces). Any of them just won't work in an Arduino environment. I have dozens of ESPs (8266 and 32) that I've programmed to work with smart things. They all perform great. These just won't work even if flashed with NodeMcu 1.0 firmware. They get stuck in a reset loop OR just return random characters as long as the baud rate is set correctly. However, there are many good reviews here! Then I must be missing something! What's so special about the ones that are made from the same components as every other ESP12Es I've used since their inception? Just let me know because there's no point in an expert like me being stuck in this problem, unable to use them and being forced to return them. twice! In fact, I decided to try again because I was so skeptical that 8 raw parts could be defective. but they were. or am I missing something.
