Woks well

For Wall Mount Holder for Google Home Mini

So simple .. and works well ... Different colours would be a good option for different coloured Google minis

Wrong supply voltage range

For DRV8837 DC Motor Module for arduino

Hello,

I ordered and received my product very quickly.
I supplied Vcc pin with 5V but your product didn't work.
The reason is that you use a 5V LDO regulator (MIC5219-5.0BM5) to supply the VCC pin of the DRV8837.

For my point of view, the supply range shall be 6V to 11VDC

Best regards,

Xavier

Works like a charm

For ESP8266 ESP-01 Programming and Development Board

I've been using the board on several projects and it has proven to work reliably in a Platform.io development environment.

Product works well.

For Capacitive Touch Power Switch

It needs very little explanation which is available from the website. It could be improved by providing a few simple pictures of the layout, showing the links you have to cut to enable the various operating modes.

Very usable.

For DC-DC Step Up Power Converter Cable w/SW

Very good allround power source. Powerswitch is a nice to have. I use it mostly to power olimex and seeed arduinos out of their box to simulate autonomous operation.

Solid Module

For SHT31 Digital Humidity & Temperature Sensor Module

The module itself looks well designed and works as expected. Some information is partly in the text, but a proper small document would help a lot instead of googling and trial and error. Purpose of "ALT" pin? I2C Adresses? Which jumper switches address? Which jumper disables pullup?

Works well

For VEML6070 UV A Light Sensor Module for Arduino

Small documentation would help. Where to find librarys? How does the Jumper works? What is the I2C address? What is the "acknowledge feature"?

I love this thing.

For ESP8266 ESP-01 Programming and Development Board

This programmer really simplified programming for me. The esp8266 brims with possibilities. Read the rest of the reviews to get important details on getting the upload to work properly from Arduino.

Not too bad.

For ESP8266 ESP-01 Programming and Development Board

So just got done soldering the pins for the FTDI connection, and have to say the actual ESP8266 soldering job was a little rough. To make sure it would work while I had the soldering iron out I gave it a once over.

Also, I was able to find their wire diagram images off their eBay page for the other reviewer who was asking.

Seller could give better instructions on how to use this programmer for both flashing and the Arduino IDE. While I was able to flash the ESP-01 I was unable to upload a simple blink program using the sellers Arduino IDE settings.

Update:
I wasn't able to get this to upload code from the Arduino IDE the original way this board worked and after messing with this thing for hours I ended up making my own two button version from scratch. With the knowledge of making my own from scratch I now knew how this board was supposed to work and I finally made some changes to where I got this board to upload code from the Arduino IDE as well.

Now this probably is considered ruining the board but it works flawlessly for me.
I ended up soldering a jumper wire to from 0 to GD and from there I soldered a post onto RS. I am able to place a jumper pin onto the extruding metal wire lead and the post to short it out. From there I just remove the jumper pin totally and then hit "Upload" in the Arduino IDE and it uploads every time.

It's a very ugly quick fix, here's the photo:

Works with my 3.3v & 5v FTDI connectors.
Works/Tested with Arduino IDE 1.6.5
Works/Tested with ESP FLASH DOWNLOAD TOOL V2.3 (Able to update board firmware)

Just a Warning:
This isn't very useful for anything but programming. Being that if you want to RUN the board GPIO 0 is always grounded out!

Good product, bad support.

For 4-Layer ESP8266 Wifi Module

I have asked for wiring diagram... after purchase, no answer!

Good idea, but bad production

For ESP8266 ESP-01 Programming and Development Board

The board arrived in acceptable time, but it did not work. When I plugged it to an ESP8266 and an FTDI Serial device, it showed data coming from the ESP8266, but not data could be sent to the ESP8266. A check of the data trace showed, that a SMD resistor in the TXD path was connected at one side only. Resoldering made the communication work, but no programming mode. It turned up, that all soldering was poor, and the smaller SMD components started to fall of the board. No chance to resolder all of them by hand, especially w/o schematics.
However, when contacted, the seller responded immediately and promised to ship a new board. I hope the new one is fine.
