Esp8266 nodemcu wifi development board

Boards¶

These modules come in different form factors and pinouts. See the page at ESP8266 community wiki for more info: ESP8266 Module Family.

Usually these modules have no bootstrapping resistors on board, insufficient decoupling capacitors, no voltage regulator, no reset circuit, and no USB-serial adapter. This makes using them somewhat tricky, compared to development boards which add these features.

In order to use these modules, make sure to observe the following:

• Provide sufficient power to the module. For stable use of the ESP8266 a power supply with 3.3V and >= 250mA is required. Using the power available from USB to Serial adapter is not recommended, these adapters typically do not supply enough current to run ESP8266 reliably in every situation. An external supply or regulator alongwith filtering capacitors is preferred.
• Connect bootstrapping resistors to GPIO0, GPIO2, GPIO15 according to the schematics below.
• Put ESP8266 into bootloader mode before uploading code.

Serial Adapter¶

There are many different USB to Serial adapters / boards. To be able to put ESP8266 into bootloader mode using serial handshaking lines, you need the adapter which breaks out RTS and DTR outputs. CTS and DSR are not useful for upload (they are inputs). Make sure the adapter can work with 3.3V IO voltage: it should have a jumper or a switch to select between 5V and 3.3V, or be marked as 3.3V only.

Adapters based around the following ICs should work:

PL2303-based adapters are known not to work on Mac OS X. See https://github.com/igrr/esptool-ck/issues/9 for more info.

Minimal Hardware Setup for Bootloading and Usage¶

• Note
• GPIO15 is also named MTDO
• Reset is also named RSBT or REST (adding PullUp improves the stability of the module)
• GPIO2 is alternative TX for the boot loader mode
• Directly connecting a pin to VCC or GND is not a substitute for a PullUp or PullDown resistor, doing this can break upload management and the serial console, instability has also been noted in some cases.

Boot Messages and Modes¶

The ESP module checks at every boot the Pins 0, 2 and 15. based on them its boots in different modes:

SDIO mode (not used for Arduino)

at startup the ESP prints out the current boot mode example:

note: — GPIO2 is used as TX output and the internal Pullup is enabled on boot.

Generic ESP8285 Module¶

ESP8285 (datasheet) is a multi-chip package which contains ESP8266 and 1MB flash. All points related to bootstrapping resistors and recommended circuits listed above apply to ESP8285 as well.

Note that since ESP8285 has SPI flash memory internally connected in DOUT mode, pins 9 and 10 may be used as GPIO / I2C / PWM pins.

ESPresso Lite 1.0¶

ESPresso Lite 1.0 (beta version) is an Arduino-compatible Wi-Fi development board powered by Espressif System’s own ESP8266 WROOM-02 module. It has breadboard-friendly breakout pins with in-built LED, two reset/flash buttons and a user programmable button . The operating voltage is 3.3VDC, regulated with 800mA maximum current.

NodeMCU 0.9 (ESP-12 Module)¶

Pin mapping¶

Pin numbers written on the board itself do not correspond to ESP8266 GPIO pin numbers. Constants are defined to make using this board easier:

static const uint8_t D0 = 16; static const uint8_t D1 = 5; static const uint8_t D2 = 4; static const uint8_t D3 = 0; static const uint8_t D4 = 2; static const uint8_t D5 = 14; static const uint8_t D6 = 12; static const uint8_t D7 = 13; static const uint8_t D8 = 15; static const uint8_t D9 = 3; static const uint8_t D10 = 1; 

If you want to use NodeMCU pin 5, use D5 for pin number, and it will be translated to ‘real’ GPIO pin 14.

NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)¶

This module is sold under many names for around $6.50 on AliExpress and it’s one of the cheapest, fully integrated ESP8266 solutions.

It’s an open hardware design with an ESP-12E core and 4 MB of SPI flash.

According to the manufacturer, “with a micro USB cable, you can connect NodeMCU devkit to your laptop and flash it without any trouble”. This is more or less true: the board comes with a CP2102 onboard USB to serial adapter which just works, well, the majority of the time. Sometimes flashing fails and you have to reset the board by holding down FLASH + RST, then releasing FLASH, then releasing RST. This forces the CP2102 device to power cycle and to be re-numbered by Linux.

The board also features a NCP1117 voltage regulator, a blue LED on GPIO16 and a 220k/100k Ohm voltage divider on the ADC input pin. The ESP-12E usually has a led connected on GPIO2.

Olimex MOD-WIFI-ESP8266(-DEV)¶

This board comes with 2 MB of SPI flash and optional accessories (e.g. evaluation board ESP8266-EVB or BAT-BOX for batteries).

The basic module has three solder jumpers that allow you to switch the operating mode between SDIO, UART and FLASH.

The board is shipped for FLASH operation mode, with jumpers TD0JP=0, IO0JP=1, IO2JP=1.

Since jumper IO0JP is tied to GPIO0, which is PIN 21, you’ll have to ground it before programming with a USB to serial adapter and reset the board by power cycling it.

UART pins for programming and serial I/O are GPIO1 (TXD, pin 3) and GPIO3 (RXD, pin 4).
