ESP8266E is among the most integrated Wi-Fi chips in the industry. Measuring just 5mm x 5mm, ESP8266EX requires minimal external circuitry and integrates a 32-bit Tensilica MCU, standard digital peripheral interfaces, antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low noise receive amplifier, filters and power management modules - all in one small package.

ESP-201

esp_2.png

Originally named as ESP-12 this module has come to popularity as ESP-201 after the name clash had been discovered. In good old BASIC line adressing style the creators apparently wanted to make sure that no other name clash would occure and added a safety distance to the numbering scheme;-)It is currently my preferred module for prototyping since it is breadboard friendly and offers similar access to the chip pins as the ESP-12 does. I say breadboard friendly with two remarks: the four pins at the head of the module keep you from directly plugging the module into a breadboard. But you can easily bend them to ninety digrees or unsolder them and place them on the upper side of the module. The second note is that the module itself hides many pins of the bread board for direct access and leaves only one row visible on each side of the module. If you need more you will have to extend a 5-pin row by connecting it to annother row on your breadboard. The board comes with a printed PCB antenna but also with a connector for an external one. This makes this module also a perfect candidate if you need to bridge a longer distance with your Wifi module. You can then easily replace the package wire antenna with a high-gain antenna and improve the sensitivity even farther.

The switch controls are as follows:

  • R – RGB LED Red to pin ‘IO15’ (must be on to boot to application mode)
  • G – RGB LED Green to pin ‘IO13
  • B – RGB LED Blue to pin ‘IO12
  • W – White LED to pin ‘IO14
  • J – Relay coil to pin ‘IO16
  • B – Buzzer to pin ‘IO5
  • K1 – GND to pin ‘IO15’ (same as Red RGB LED – holding ON while powering is same as R off i.e. will not enter application mode)
  • K2 – GND to pin ‘IO0’ (Same as S2 – switch ON when powering to enter reprogramming mode)
  • S2 – GND to pin ‘IO0
  • S3 – GND to pin ‘IO2
