ESP8266 has made it possible for makers to develop IoT applications in much simpler and more inexpensive ways. EasyESP-1 is a new ESP8266 prototyping board, specially designed for beginners by Raj from Embedded Lab. With an onboard USB-to-Serial converter pre-installed, EasyESP-1 does not require any additional hardware to download your application firmware to the ESP8266 chip. The ESP module used in this development board is ESP-12E. All the I/O pins are broken out to 0.1” female headers for easy access, as well as to standard Grove connectors for connecting Grove sensors and other compatible modules. The 180-point breadboard further facilitates experimenting and testing of external circuits. You can buy EasyESP-1 from their Tindie Store.
Features
