sparkfun ESP8266 User Manual

Introduction
Over the past year, the ESP8266 has been a growing star among IoT or WiFi-related projects.
It’s an extremely cost-effective WiFi module, that – with a little extra effort – can be
programmed just like any microcontroller. Unfortunately, the ESP8266 has mostly only been
available in a tiny, modular form, which, with limited I/O and a funky pin-out, can be difficult to
build a project around.
The original ESP8266 WiFi module. Great for piggybacking onto an Arduino, hard to build a
project around.
SparkFun’s new development board for the ESP8266 breaks out all of the module’s pins, and
comes equipped with a LiPo charger, power supply, and all of the other supporting circuitry it
requires. We lovingly call it the Thing – it’s the perfect foundation for your Internet of Things.
