Description of πŸ”Œ HiLetgo ESP8285 Development Board V1.0.0 - 2pcs Set | 1MB Flash Lite, Wireless WiFi Internet Development Board

This is a powerful Internet of things development board; standalone board mount, stackable on top, or stackable top and bottom. Although these board have only 16 pins, you're still getting 10 digital I/O and the one A0 analog pin, a reset pin, plus the ground and one 3 volt and one 5 volt pin. This is enough for most projects. After all, you do get the hardware I2C and SPI pins (on D5 through D8). This D1 definitely fits on a standard breadboard leaving one open hole available for each pin (on both sides) but being shorter than the 30 pin boards you will have about 6 more rows available for prototyping, especially nice when using the short 460 tie point breadboards. 11 digital input / output pins, all pins with interrupt / PWM / I2C / support 1 line (except D0); 1 analog input(3.2V max input). Micro USB connection; Compatible with Arduino; 1MB Flash; 500mA resettable fuse. Be aware that the old driver can cause your machine to lock up. If you installed an earlier version of the driver (the one I had had no version number in the file name) search for instructions to remove it.

Works with Tasmota and Ubuntu

As said in another review, it can be flashed with Tasmota. In this review, I happened to be using 8.1.0. Using the FT232 to USB Converter: Set the output power of the FT232 to 3.3VDC, connect the FT232 with 3.3VDC, GND, TX, RX to the board by connecting TX, RX on the board side Swap to make a crossover (TX-to-RX, RX) . -to-TX). To put the device into firmware mode, before connecting to the ground pin D3 (GPIO0) of the FT232 USB device, after connecting and applying power, remove the D3 jumper…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • I have no real complaints about it, everything is fine

Great price for a great product

I flashed Tasmota on Linux with: esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flasheptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 write_flash -fs 1MB -fm dout 0x0 sonoff. am connected to the hotspot "sonoff-xxxx" it created on my phone and set up WiFi. I saved it and then connected it to the device via LAN and configured it as a generic 18 module. It works great! The easiest device to use is the esp8286/5 - no programmer or voltage regulator required. The quality of the board is excellent, there are contacts if…

Works as expected - Computers and Accessories

Both units I have purchased work perfectly. These devices may take 15-60 seconds to connect to my single 2.4GHz N AP that is 3ft away, but they quickly connect to another AP. I'm not sure if this is due to logic or if the antenna on the 8285 is much weaker than on other 8266s. It seems to be on other boards as well. Connect with the standard USB driver CH340/341 for your operating system. Make sure you select the 8285 board from the Arduino IDE board menu (you may run into problems if you…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Very Expensive

High quality WIFI development board

This review is for HiLetGo's ESP8285 wireless development board. First, two packs of ESP8285 are included in the purchase. In terms of hardware, ESP8266 is a well-known wireless microchip, this ESP8285 is basically ESP8266 + 1MB Flash. Thanks to the built-in flash, the Wemos D1 lite is less clunky than the Wemos D1 mini. From a software perspective, the easiest way to program this chip is to use the Arduino IDE. You just have to select Wemos D1 Lite in the board settings. Remember that the…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Sad package

So far I can't even get these boards for Blink

So I read all the reviews and some of them said I can get a Blink sketch to boot with the ESP 8266 but not Blink. Selecting ESP 8285 returns the following error and does not load the sketch: Arduino: 1.8.2 (Windows 10), Board"Generic ESP8285 Module, 80MHz, Flash, nodemcu, 26MHz, 1M (no SPIFFS) , 2 , v2 Low memory , disabled, no, sketch only, 115200 "The esp8285 board (esp8266 platform, esp8266 package) is unknown. Compilation errors for ESP8285 Universal Board Module. Settings. At the moment…

Pros
  • Constant test results
Cons
  • Gloomy hardware

Do you want to start developing ESP8266? Start here!

These little modules run on the Espressif ESP8285 chipset, not the 8266, but it does add a bit more functionality, but with most programs you'll never realize you're running a newer version. What makes these modules great for prototyping and development on the 8266 platform is that they have an integrated USB connector and a programming reset pin, so you don't need to buy a separate stand to use ESP-01- to write modules. The boards are cheap enough to make great one-way access points when you…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • No power
