Excellent, well made product

A little fiddly at first to insert new ESPs, from fear of bending pins. Familiarity solved that...
Great product, if you use ESP-07, ESP-12/12E or 12F in bare module form, you need this.
Will doon order the ESP32 version.

Excellent board. The missing link

This boards fits exactly the twilight zone between dev (nodeMCU, D1 etc) and full production (exposing 4 ports and using external FTDI).
It works flawlessly and very easy to use.
I had some issue with the original shipment. After short communication with the developer I received a new board VERY fast.
highly recommended

Very cool Product

I had some esp12F's lying around and wanted to do something with them.
But i didn't want to solder them every time i wanted to change something or use a fixed board adapter.

So in short words this is very cool. I would even say one of the coolest things I have in my collection.
Not because it's the most complex technology but because it's so simple and smart :)

Simply awesome, way better than my jerry-rigged alternative!

The Frog Board is perfect for anyone who is interested in using the inexpensive ESP8266 module for their IoT projects. After I first became interested in the ESP8266, I spent a lot of time trying (and failed) to figure out how to upload sketches without having the module soldered to a breadboard adapter (or as part of a more expensive development board). The Frog Board is a much simpler and much more elegant solution than mine and does not require any soldering to upload sketches. Moreover, the integrated FTDI makes it quite easy to program. I was able to upload several of my test sketches on 3 different modules within 15-20 min. The only (minor) trouble I had was in making sure the frog pins attached to the correct locations before snapping the module down (more a problem of my aging vision than anything else). The documentation was a bit sparse for someone who is completely new to the ESP8266, but anyone who has experience using one of the many available ESP8266 development boards will figure it out quickly and be delighted.

Looks like an amazing board solid....

The hardware is great just wish there was more on
the software setup and programing, what I mean is
where to go to see how to setup using the board.
As I said the board is really great and made really well.
The acrylic backing is great. Thank you for making it.

Marcel | Oct. 9, 2018

I am thrilled!

I saw this board being reviewed by Seon on "Unexpected Maker" YouTube and ordered one immediately.
It came quite fast in the post and after a bit of finagling I figured out what I was doing wrong.
Make sure you select NodeMCU and it will program fine.
Right off from the start I programmed 3 boards in just a few minutes.
I couldn't be happier. Money well spent.

So simple and works so well

This review is about my second Frog Board, I liked the first one so much I bought another one. It is so simple to use just push the esp8266 into place and away you go, I love the on-board power switch and the on-board reset switch. With it's inbuilt power regulator you can simply power it through the USB connection on the board from any decent USB port or power supply.
It's perfect to quickly swap from one esp to another allowing you to program a batch of them with ease, the only reason I bought a second one was because I needed two esp's on at the same time and didn't want to solder them onto a Veroboard straight away, whilst I was still trying things out.
I would recommend this product.

Well built, useful board

I ordered the board and it was shipped on 23 April and arrived 22 May which is ok as you cannot get these boards (or anything like them) anywhere else. Comms we ok too.

The board is well built and sturdy. The flexible pins work really well allowing the ESP8266 to be 'snapped' in and out easily. The board uses a CH340G USB to Serial chip which, on a Mac at least, requires a driver. https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html provided the required info and download links. Take note of the versions on MacOSX Sierra as it really does crash your Mac when you plug the board in!

Now looking forward to building some cool hacks with MicroPython.

Works like a charm!

Just tested it, and it works!
Tested and confirmed working on ESP-12E, ESP-12F and ESP-07S.
It's easy to fit a ESP-07S board although it do not have the bottom connectors.

!!Remember to read the instructions, so you select the correct board!!
I struggled a minute or two before I read it. But, easy as pie!

I plan to upload OTA code my ESPs and solder them to a PCB. Excellent tool for that.

It comes with a micro USB cable.

Thanks!

Great product.

Shipping took bit more time since there is no cheap shipping for my country from china, but it arrived at the end and it's great board to use.

An excellent product for the ESP-12E module.

I was looking for a way to test and experiment with some discount ESP-12E modules bought on-line. The ESP8266 Frog Board was the only solution I found that offered a great price and had the features I wanted. I ordered one and was not disappointed when it quickly arrived in good quality packaging. Inside was the Frog Board, a convenient USB data connection cable and a ESP8266MOD module inserted onto the board.

The quality of the printed circuit board looks good, the Plexiglas base is useful and the white printed frog graphic is a nice touch. Plugging the board into a USB power stick I pushed the board's power button and the ubiquitous blink program started flashing the ESP-12E's blue LED.

I swapped in all the ESP-12 modules I have and easily tested them using the Arduino IDE. The Frog board has all the features I wanted and was really the only piece of hardware available that does the job for me. It is a quality solution for the ESP12E module.

Do not ask anything to him! He has no idea what talk about !

Seller absolutely rude.

He cancelled my esp32 board purchase only because I´ve asked him to send me the tracking number.

David | Jan. 29, 2018

great little breakout board

I love the concept, ESP8266 with snap in mounting, a reset switch, a power switch, a USB programming port and a voltage converter. The only other thing I need is to know which pins connect to the LEDs on the Frogo Pins

Christopher | Jan. 26, 2018

Great little board!

I was having trouble programming my ESPs with a breadboard setup. Once I reveiced this kit, it helped me troubleshoot the real issue, a corrupt Arduino file. This is so much easier to use,

Javier | Jan. 25, 2018

The perfect ESP8266 dev board!

It's the perfect board to check ESP8266 modules before solder a batch of boards. Just perfect: on board programmer, on/off switch, reset button, pin header with all ESP8266 module pins...

Dave | Jan. 14, 2018

Absolutely happy with it :)

I just tested 15 ESP boards for flash sizes, after I had soldered an ESP12 with 2MB instead of 4MB flash size. This board works like a charm, the on/off switch makes sense to easily remove the modules after flashing / testing. The programmer came with an ESP12 module and a USB cable in a nice plastic box, the acrylic board on the bottom makes this thing look good on the table. The PCB layout looks solid, the pins work as they're supposed to. I don't regret spending my money on that useful tool! Thanks a lot :)

Ordered on the 24th of December, arrived on the 11th of January in Germany - considering all the holidays inbetween, that was really fast.

super cute ESP8266 prgramming board

Very nice build quality.
Unfortunately the plastic case with the frog on it is way too cute, so my girlfriend wanted to have it - and I could not say no.

Stefan | Oct. 23, 2017

High quality ESP-12 dev board

Comes with an ESP-12E chip and USB cable nicely packaged in a little case.
Makes testing raw ESP-12 modules waaay easier. No more need to solder anything for quick testing :)
The on/off switch is also a usefull little feature.
