Description
Wi-fi module based on the ESP8266 chip. It works in wi-fi 802.11 b/g/n standard at 2.4 GHz. It has led out connectors of the system (they work with the voltage of 3.3 V), LEDs, switch and built-in USB-UART converter based on FTDI chip, which allows for direct programming of the module using the Arduino environment via the microUSB connector -microUSB cablecan be purchased separately.
The device has a built-in USB-UART converter which provides a direct connection of the board to the computer via microUSB cable and programming using the Arduino IDE - a detailed description is inthe user's guide.
Pins operate at a voltage of 3.3 V so to connect 5 V modules, required is the externalvoltage converter. |
