Product description:
The SparkFun ESP8266 Thing is essentially a breakout and development board for
the ESP8266 WiFi SoC. Why the name? We lovingly call it the Thing due to it
being the perfect foundation for your Internet of Things. Over the past year,
the ESP8266 has been a growing star among IoT or WiFi-related projects. It's an
extremely cost-effective WiFi module, that - with a little extra effort - can
be programmed just like any microcontroller. The only unfortunate part is: the
ESP8266 has mostly only been available in a tiny, modular form, which, with
limited I/O and a "unique" pin-out, can be difficult to build a project around.
SparkFun's new development board for the ESP8266 breaks out all of the module's
pins, and comes equipped with a LiPo charger, power supply, and all of the
other supporting circuitry it requires.
The SparkFun ESP8266 Thing is a relatively simple board. The pins are broken
out to two parallel, breadboard-compatible rows. USB and LiPo connectors at the
top of the board provide power - controlled by the nearby ON/OFF switch. LEDs
towards the inside of the board indicate power, charge, and status of the IC.
The ESP8266's maximum voltage is 3.6V, so the Thing has an onboard 3.3V
regulator to deliver a safe, consistent voltage to the IC. That means the
ESP8266's I/O pins also run at 3.3V, you'll need to level shift any 5V signals
running into the IC. Also, with a little extra effort, the SparkFun ESP8266
Thing can be programmed using Arduino
A 3.3V FTDI Basic is required to program the SparkFun ESP8266 Thing, but
other serial converters with 3.3V I/O levels should work just fine as well. The
converter does need a DTR line in addition to the RX and TX pins.
