Description of HiLetgo ESP8285 Development Compatible ESP8266

*ESP8285 = ESP8266 + 1M Flash, so that it can withstand high temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius! And the original ESP8266 source code program can be used to transplant. *When the ESP8285 hosting application, can be started directly from the external Flash. Built-in cache memory facilitates system performance and optimizes storage systems. In addition, ESP8285 only through the SPI / SDIO interface or I2C / UART port can be used as a Wi-Fi adapter, applied to any microcontroller-based design. *Built-in Tensilica L106 ultra-low power 32-bit microprocessor, clocked at 80MHz and 160MHz support RTOS. *Support AT remote upgrade and cloud OTA upgrade. *Support for Smart Config features (including Android and iOS devices).

Not worth the money

After trying this SBC, I found it to be severely lacking in performance. It constantly froze and had difficulty connecting to my computer. The compatibility with ESP8266 was useless, as it didn't make up for the subpar quality.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Poor performance, compatibility issues.

Major Stability Issues

I took this against my will because there are zero reviews for it. After spending a few days getting my project up and running, I'm throwing them away. Between all the constant hangs and stack crashes, it's just not worth it. If you hit your project's reset button a few dozen times, you can let it run through once. FYI for anyone trying to figure this out, the built in LED is on GPIO 16. Not even listed as an option in the Arduino.

Pros
  • * The onboard 32-bit ultra-low power Tensilica L106 microprocessor running at 80 and 160MHz supports RTOS.
Cons
  • For a long time

Read the description - NOT ESP8266

So I bought it thinking it was the ESP8266 (my fault) but it wasn't. Luckily they can be flashed with ESPEasy and work just like the ESP8266 (but with less memory). The picture has the ESP8266 board on the left and this ESP8285 (smaller) on the right.

Pros
  • *ESP8285 = ESP8266 + 1M Flash so that it can withstand high temperatures of up to 125 degrees Celsius! And the original ESP8266 source code program can be used for transplantation.
Cons
  • Not as good as it says
