Make testing after programming your ESP8266 easy.

The pinout of the ESP8266 makes it incompatible with development boards without an adapter. It's programmer and breakthrough in one. Add some LEDs directly to this board to immediately test the on/off program functions. CH340C USB-to-Serial drivers are automatically loaded in Win 10.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Best USB to UART for ESP8266 programming

This is the most convenient USB to UART adapter I've seen for the ESP8266. It can control the RESET and GPIO0 of the ESP8266, making flashing completely automatic and painless with most flashing tools. UART is already supported by the Linux kernel shipped with Ubuntu 20.04. Nothing needs to be installed, just plug and play. For Windows 10, the drivers are loaded automatically after connecting to USB. It's cheaper and much more convenient than, for example, FTDI USB-UART. I've flashed this UART…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Out of fashion

It didn't say you should ground the GPIO0 pin

I've read a lot of reviews saying it's plug and play but it's not for me. I had to ground GPIO0 to charge it. Although this fact was obvious in the esp8266 data sheet, everyone here claims its plug and play without mentioning it. So it hit me. I gave it three stars as something like this should have a QA. I would save newbies so much time.

Pros
  • , good thing
Cons
  • Reliability
