Review on Sipeed Serial Programmable ESP8285 ESP8266 by Ben Boulanger

The Nano itself is a really good Linux-enabled IoT device where you don't need or require a larger RPI class block. The integrated 32 MB RAM and 16 MB SPI Flash are sufficient for many small Linux applications. , and you can add a micro SD card for more programs and storage space. The board comes with the SPI already flashed with Linux, and a single SD card image is relatively easy to find and download. Pay 5 stars. I have two main complaints: - this kit comes with a 5 inch LCD panel but mine works intermittently - when I plug in a ribbon cable the screen goes black. If I bend the flat cable back behind the fairing. , works well. Cheap but comfortable. 3 stars for the LCD support documentation (fortunately on GitHub) is almost entirely in Chinese and leaves a lot to be desired even when Google translates it into English. Console to UART Tx/Rx/GND pins that come with the kit but they need to be soldered and there isn't a single photo of the connectors. There aren't any necessary pins on the pinout diagrams in the documentation. what pins the labels mean . The photo shows a properly soldered 0.1" pin header for U0TX, U0RX, 5V, GND, 3.3V for the console. 1 star for documentation. I've worked with almost every embedded development board from microcontrollers to RPI class devices and this board is the best for the project I'm working on, but it's not for beginners.
