ESP8266 Evaluation Board for ESP-12 Wireless Module

Description

This is  Evaluation board for ESP-12. Board comes with a ready soldered ESP-12 soldered to it and all the pins are available to the left and right of the ESP-12 board. In addition the TX, RX and GND are available at the bottom of the board. There is also a jumper which you close for programming the firmware and open to run the firmware.

Features

ESP8266EX is a 802.11bgn WiFi chip,  that can be used in IoT applications, and integrates the following components
Tensilica L106 low power 32-bit MCU that can run at up 160MHz
10-bit ADC
internal SRAM
GPIO x16 (up to 5 used for interface with flash)
power management
all RF components
WiFi baseband, MAC, TCP/IPadvance standby and sleep mode
 SPI / UART / SDIO connectivity
The application code is usually stored on an external NOR flash device; for a typical application 512kB is more than enough. The flash is accessed through a cache; about 35kB internal SRAM is available to the user for stack and temporary storage.
 ESP8266EX is typically used in applications ranging from smart switches, smart lighting, smoke detectors, gas sensors, temperature-humidity sensors, smart displays, etc.
