Fascinating computer components

These things are so ridiculously addictive it's crazy. Extremely versatile and helpful, beyond any review I can write. I have small sensors connected to GPIO2 all over my house. The only thing that irritates me is the red power indicator. Had to break it off the board and it would have been nice to use the hibernation feature but had trouble connecting GPIO 16 to the former. but i love her Next time I might order the ones that have access to more ports, but for now and for real small jobsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Some troubles

What can I say about her!

They are all broken, maybe one, but it only lights up, I think it's broken too. I have the hardest time accepting this job, the only similar ones are 2 pcs. boxed keyestudio.com labeled "AI-Cloud-Inside" where they have "ESP-01" and the ones I've consistently worked for so far but I wanted to tinker with the good stuff. They work great on my USB to TTL converter plugged into the computer. As an aside I was only recently able to obtain an OTHER pair of keyestudio.com 2-pack boxes that arrivedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Just get an ESP-12E

I've managed to get a few of these little boards to work with some difficulty, but reprogramming them has been a constant hassle. The same program/settings fail 4 or 5 times in a row before randomly working. There's no USB port or reset/program button, meaning you have to manually connect TX, RX, and RST, as well as 3.3V power. For about $1 more for a fee, you can get an ESP-12E with a Got a USB connector that can power the board and send programs, a regular Vin that accepts up to 12V, and aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Almost never

Simple Serial Port WiFi

These things work very well, especially considering their size. You use a serial port to connect to your Arduino or whatever and use an extended set of AT commands to set it up, connect to WiFi and send/receive data. They also support AP mode, making them ideal for configuring WiFi settings by first connecting your laptop/phone/etc. connect to your project's own WiFi connection. If you're using this with the Arduino IDE, there's a great library available on GitHub - searchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Single Board Computer
Cons
  • Some Bugs

You can spend hours getting it to work.

The internet is flooded with reports of problems with these modules. In my case I finally found that after grounding GPIO0 during a board reset (to enter software download mode) and exiting the module, it was idle for about 15 seconds code without the " Packet Header Wait Timeout". Error message. The "Blink" code that supports them incorrectly states that the built-in LED (labeled "LED_BUILTIN") is on pin 2. It's actually on pin 1, which is why you modified the code to run the test programโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • So far so good
