The ESP8266 is a low-cost wi-fi microchip with full TCP/IP and microcontroller capability produced by Shanghai-based Chinese manufacturer
The chip first came to the attention of western makers in August 2014 with the ESP-01 module, made by a third-party manufacturer Ai-Thinker. This small module allows microcontrollers to connect to a Wi-Fi network and make simple TCP/IP connections using hayes -style commands. However, at the time there was almost no English-language documentation on the chip and the commands it accepted. The very low price and the fact that there were very few external components on the module, which suggested that it could eventually be very inexpensive in volume, attracted many hackers to explore the module, chip, and the software on it, as well as to translate the Chinese documentation.
The ESP8285 is an ESP8266 with 1 MiB of built-in flash, allowing for single-chip devices capable of connecting to Wi-Fi.
The successor to these microcontroller chips is the .
Pinout of ESP8266:
The pinout is as follows for the common ESP-01 module:
- VCC, Voltage (+3.3 V; can handle up to 3.6 V)
- GND, Ground (0 V)
- RX, Receive data bit X
- TX, Transmit data bit X
- CH_PD, Chip power-down
- RST, Reset
- GPIO 0, General-purpose input/output No. 0
- GPIO 2, General-purpose input/output No. 2
