A Great ESP8266 Development Board

This is a wonderful single board computer that is superbly designed for beginners and expert developers alike. As a result of my tests, I determined that it is easy to use, cost-effective, and comes with many useful features. The board is well-built with a compact size that makes it easy to work with. The only downside is that it requires a good understanding of coding for its proper use. Nonetheless, this is a marvelous piece of technology that should be considered.

Pros
  • Easy to use, cost-effective, and comes with many useful features.
Cons
  • Requires a good understanding of coding for its proper use.
