What is it?

This is an ESP8266 WiFi module breakout. It includes a 3.3V regulator, a logic level converter, and programming and reset buttons. On the bottom it has headers that can plug into an FTDI programmer and upload programs, or run using the AT commands from an Arduino. This product comes as a kit that requires soldering or you can purchase it fully assembled.

Why did you make it?

I designed this breakout board kit for an upcoming electronics camp I am running. The ESP8266 requires a few parts to get it working, and this breakout board simplifies that. It also allows the ESP8266 to run on its own with no additional microcontroller.

What makes it special?

Since the breakout board comes as a kit, you can customize it to your needs. It is small and compact, and does its job well. If you need a simple ESP8266 breakout, this is your kit.

Kit includes:

• 1x custom breakout board
• 1x logic level converter and headers
• 1x LM1117 3.3v voltage regulator
• 1x 10uF capacitor
• 2x push buttons
• 1x 10K resistor
• 1x 6pin 90° male header
• 2x 6pin female header
• 2x 4pin female header

Optional: 1x ESP8266-01 and headers (+$5)
