ESP12F ESP8266 Amica NodeMCU Wifi Module CH340
A great set of tools to develop ESP8266. NodeMCU is built based on the mature ESP8266 technology to take advantage of the abundant resources available on the web. NodeMCU has ESP-12-based serial WiFi integrated onboard to provide GPIO, PWM, ADC, I2C, and 1-WIRE resources at your fingertips, built-in USB-TTL serial with super reliable industrial strength CH340 for superior stability on all supported platforms.
ESP8266 is a highly integrated chip designed for the needs of a new connected world. It offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the application or offload all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.ESP8266 has powerful onboard processing and storage capabilities that allow it to be integrated with the sensors and other application-specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during run-time. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry, and the entire solution, including the front-end module, is designed to occupy a minimal PCB area.
NodeMCU is an open-source IoT platform. It includes firmware that runs on the ESP8266 Wi-Fi SoC from Espressif Systems, and hardware that is based on the ESP-12 module. The term “NodeMCU” by default refers to the firmware rather than the dev kits. The firmware uses the Embedded C scripting language.
Add Internet to your next project with an adorable, bite-sized WiFi microcontroller, at a price you like! The ESP8266 processor from Espressif is an 80 MHz microcontroller with a full WiFi front-end (both as a client and access point) and TCP/IP stack with DNS support as well.
