Ok programmer but needs some fine tuning

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

Programmer works as expected after connecting all the pins from module to breadboad. But why power supply is not taken from USB cable?

Response from Baoshi | Sept. 13, 2015
Hello Juha,
Yes I also want to be able to power from USB. The problem is when FTDI Basic is configure to 3.3V, it's VCC cannot supply enough current. So I have to use an external pin.

Not for Arduino IDE

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

Excellent board if you are programming with the SDK ... but not Arduino IDE

Has anyone gotten it to work some Arduino code? a mere blink ...
I have a 12E board and set it up as nodemcu 1.0 ... but I get nothing ...



edit Sept 8 ( not find a way to respond down ... it is clear that this is not a forum)

that not the problem ... it works perfectly.
The problem is mapping pins ...

Hello,
If you want to use the board with Arduino IDE, please press/hold the RST/PRG button for 1 second before click the upload button. This will work.
I have been using NodeMCU as well without problem. Just make sure you flash the right image. For me I'm using ESP8266Flasher.exe with nodemcu_float_0.9.6-dev_20150627.bin.

Good board to work with

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

Nicely laid out board that's very easy to work with. Baoshi was very helpful with questions and obtaining ESP-07 modules. Recommended.

Excellent product

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

Well packed with extremely quick delivery from Singapore. Product looks well built with careful thought put into the design. Looking forward to testing it.

Thanks.
In fact I'm still fascinating why the delivery time for certain countries are so much shorter than others. UK and Netherlands are the Champion at the moment. Germany and USA have been varying between 3-20 days, while the South American and African countries are much slower.

Great adpater board. Very neatly made.

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

Product delivered is exactly what we see while we place the order. Packed very well. Printout received from seller with some details on the installed SDK and pin diagram, proved to be very uselfull. Response from seller on queries related it the product were very quick and apt. We were lucky to have ordered the board from Baoshi. It was great experimenting with this board with the help from Baoshi. We are very happy and would do business again.

Excellent dev board

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

I had a stack of ESP-07s (don't recall where I got them, but there they were!). Anyway, due to the pin pitch of these boards, dev work is tedious. I was in the process of designing my own little pcb to make it easier when I stumbled across this, already designed, populated and proven!

It works perfectly - simple to solder on the 07, attach the FTDI cable and start development. In about 20 minutes after opening the (excellent) packaging, I was running a small webserver, 15 minutes after that it was reporting temp & humidity via a DHT22 - it really made things a lot easier.

Also, the programming switch function is a bit of genius, I definitely wouldn't have thought to add that to my plan. I'm not using the regulator, but it's nice to have that option. Review Image

Excellent breakout board!

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

I'm not one to leave reviews normally but I feel this product truly deserves one!! The board is very well laid out, the FTDI pins are nicely placed at one end of the board I'm especially pleased with the reset/flash button mechanism! Previously I'd been using two buttons to enter flash mode so a long press to enter flash mode is a god send! It is assembled well, I couldn't find any issues with traces or components and I think the price is spot on too!

I read one of the earlier reviews that stated the board they received was damaged and Baoshi seemed to take this comment on board. Mine arrived very well packed, short of the courier abusing my package there was no way it would've arrived damaged.

Well done Baoshi, I'm really glad I found this!

Hi Daniel,
It is only through feedback that am able to know what is problem my product is facing. For example the damage incident, I was using padded envelop only and even since I inserted one more carton box. Another buyer has emailed me about his concern of static from the plastic wrap. I had little experience about it since I live in Singapore where typical humidity is 60%. I then added http://sg.element14.com/multicomp/038-0100/foam-hd-cond-127x228x6mm/dp/1687846 also anti-static bag for extra safety.
Many thanks for review.

A handy way to use an ESP8266

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

This is a nice, cleanly made board that works quite well. I have mine running with an Adafruit FTDI cable, jumpering 5 volts to the Vin pin (since it isn't connected on the board) and running the new version of Micropython that supports WiFi on the ESP8266. Expect to do some Googling to figure out how to use the ESP8266, but that's par for the course with a development board like this.

Response from Baoshi | May 6, 2015
Thanks for the review. Adafruit FTDI cable, according to https://www.adafruit.com/images/product-files/70/FT232_3.3V_with_LED.pdf, is using 3V I/O. So it should work flawlessly.
I would take this opportunity to advise users to double check your USB-UART adapter voltage. 5V I/O may damage the module.
Cheers!

Cool product, exactly as advertised

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

The product was exactly what it claimed to be. Documentation included with the item was minimal, but it included a link to online docs, which means the information you have access to is always current. Online documentation was very thorough, and included examples. After soldering the ESP module onto this board, everything worked well, and the reset function was especially useful.

Great Board and Service

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

So thanks Baoshi

A great seller!

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

These adapters work great, I have 6 of them and they all function flawlessly. None of them came damaged and the button to update the firmware works well. Being breadboard friendly these make prototyping much easier. I really can't think of any flaw or gripe. For the money these are fabulous, stop thinking and start buying. Just make sure you apply your voltage to either the VIN pin or 3v3 pin depending on your input voltage, the FTDI connector doesn't have a voltage connection to the ESP8266. Overall these adapters work flawlessly. I am very happy and would do business again.

Très bon produit

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

Fabrication soignée, très bien emballé. Rein à redire. La documentation est bien faite et il y a les schémas en opensource (KICAD). Merci encore.

my favorite

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

By now I have a bunch of ESP8266 variations on the workbench - this one is my favorite.
I ordered mine with the ESP module included.
Mainly, it just works with no issues.
Some of my other breadboard projects with other ESP modules suffer from rf feedback getting into (maybe?) the USB comm lines or maybe the power. I don't have a scope so I'm not exactly sure.
Anyway - this little board doesn't have that problem.
Just be sure to ground the GPIO-15 line or else nothing will work right.

The supplied color printout of the pinout is very helpful.

I loaded the Lua firmware onto mine.

My initial experiment is a PIR sensor ticking an interrupt if someone's present.
Then it reads the temp/humidity with a DHT22, the light level with a photo-resistor /voltage-divider to the ADC pin, and logs it all to ThingSpeak. lt also sends out mqtt messages for my local mosquito/Node-Red setup.
Ton's of fun!

Its so good I just tried to order another one and I see they're out of stock.
My advice - put your email on the waiting list and get one as soon as you can!

Hi, Thanks for the kind review.
Would you please help me to measure GPIO15 voltage when it is floating? I have a 10K pull down resistor on that pin so by right, you do not need to ground GPIO15. But the resistor value IS sensitive (22K will not work). Perhaps I have to reduce the value further more.

Good idea, but arrived with broken switch and bent pins

For ESP8266 (ESP-07/12) Full I/O Breadboard Adapter

Update - replacements arrived and were carefully and securely packed. Thanks! Now onto development...

I ordered two, and they look like they will work and make things easy, except I will have to worry about the reset button on one and the bent pins on both. He wrapped them with a too small piece of foam and didn't put in any cardboard or box something else to prevent them from being crushed.
I just got them, so there was no "communication"

Thanks for the feedback. Seems padded envelope is not good enough for this purpose. Packaging is definately something I need to improve.
