ESP8266 Thing Dev Board 物聯網開發板 Sparkfun美國製

商品說明

SparkFun ESP8266 Thing是 ESP8266 WiFi SoC的擴展板和開發板，是物聯網（IoT）或WiFi相關項目的領先平台。該Thing是低成本和易於使用，和Arduino IDE集成可以在短短幾個步驟實現。我們通過打開所有模組的引腳，添加了LiPo充電器，電源和所需的其他所有支持電路，使ESP8266易於使用。

SparkFun ESP8266 Thing是一個相對簡單的板。引腳分為兩個平行的麵包板兼容行。板頂部的USB和LiPo連接器通過附近的ON / OFF開關控制提供電源。朝向板內部的LED指示IC的功率，電荷和狀態。ESP8266的最大電壓為3.6V，因此Thing具有板載3.3V穩壓器，可為IC提供安全，一致的電壓。這意味著ESP8266的I / O引腳也運行在3.3V，你需要電平轉換任何5V信號運行到IC。需要3.3V FTDI Basic來編程SparkFun ESP8266 Thing，但是具有3.3VI / O電平的其他串行轉換器也應該工作得很好。

SparkFun ESP8266 Thing

The SparkFun ESP8266 Thing is a breakout and development board for the ESP8266 WiFi SoC – a leading platform for Internet of Things (IoT) or WiFi-related projects. The Thing is low-cost and easy to use, and Arduino IDE integration can be achieved in just a few steps. We’ve made the ESP8266 easy to use by breaking out all of the module’s pins, adding a LiPo charger, power supply, and all of the other supporting circuitry it requires.

Why the name? We lovingly call it the “Thing” due to it being the perfect foundation for your Internet of Things project. The Thing does everything from turning on an LED to posting data with phant.io, and can be programmed just like any microcontroller. You can even program the Thing through the Arduino IDE by installing the ESP8266 Arduino addon.

The SparkFun ESP8266 Thing is a relatively simple board. The pins are broken out to two parallel, breadboard-compatible rows. USB and LiPo connectors at the top of the board provide power – controlled by the nearby ON/OFF switch. LEDs towards the inside of the board indicate power, charge, and status of the IC. The ESP8266’s maximum voltage is 3.6V, so the Thing has an onboard 3.3V regulator to deliver a safe, consistent voltage to the IC. That means the ESP8266’s I/O pins also run at 3.3V, you’ll need to level shift any 5V signals running into the IC. A 3.3V FTDI Basic is required to program the SparkFun ESP8266 Thing, but other serial converters with 3.3V I/O levels should work just fine as well. The converter does need a DTR line in addition to the RX and TX pins.
