Review on HiLetgo MEGA2560 ATmega2560 ESP8266 Compatible by Jon Joung

Revainrating 1 out of 5

This board will not function like the externally identical board WeMos Mega 2560 + ESP8266

The boards LOOK identical including the screen printing on the board but either the DIP switch is wired differently or both boards I purchased have, they are defective. The WeMos switches work as shown in the attached photo; I have 3 of these and they work great. If I set the HiLetgo 5, 6 and 7 DIP switches, I can boot the ESP8266 firmware, but I can't find the combination of switch settings that will allow me to boot into the Mega. With each setting, Windows 10 Pro reports that the device is not recognized. Now it's possible that the switches on this board are wired differently, but it's impossible to know since HiLetgo doesn't provide any documentation or answer the question I posted here. I also searched their website (hiletgo.com) and could not find any information on this product. I recommend stopping by. As a result, this board is useless.
