6-Pack ESP8266 V3 ESP-12E,Aideepen 30PIN NodeMCU ESP8266 V3 ESP-12E Development Board WLAN Module CH-340 for NodeMCU for ESP-12E for Arduin0

This little Development Board is a versatile tool perfect for a wide range of embedded applications. It’s ideal for projects that require efficient processing and support of various connectivity options, such as IoT devices, smart home systems, and industrial automation. With its various features, it supports developers in creating innovative solutions with ease. It's ideally suited for working on a prototype or a larger deployment. this board offers good flexibility and performance in a small size and is a good value for what you get.

I've stopped trying to review any common Arduino-related hardware on terms of documentation. You just have to accept that Amazon is NOT the starting point for that and they're going to assume you already know what you're getting.But as for the actual product, everything looks good. I was able to immediately load up a demo sketch, connect to an AP, and send some TCP data.

This was able to power my 12v lights through a breadboard, and it worked great with no delay.

These ESP8266 development boards are a great choice for anyone looking to explore the world of IoT and connected devices. The ESP-12E module, with its built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, provides a solid foundation for a wide range of projects. The included CH340 USB-to-serial converter makes programming and uploading code a breeze. I've found them to be reliable and easy to use, offering great value for the price.

These boards came individually packaged in anti-static packaging,The board is the larger version of the Nodemcu package (Gen 3) it has 30 pins put in 2 rows of 15 pins. the Pin spacing is 0.1” the rows are 1.1” apart.I had no problem programming all 6 I mounted them in the Aideepen ESP8266 Breakout Board.I programmed them to use as a diagnostic tool for monitoring voltage and temperature logging both over WiFi.Don’t know if it means anything to anybody the output from sketch belowChip ID: 0xE468DFFlash chip size: 4194304 (bytes)CoreVersion: 2_7_4BootVersion: 31CPU Freq: 160 (Mhz)Vendor ID: 239-------- Sketch ChipInfo.ino --------#include "Arduino.h"void setup() {Serial.begin(74880);delay(10);Serial.println('\n');Serial.printf("Chip ID: 0x%X\n", ESP.getChipId());Serial.printf("\tFlash chip size: %d (bytes)\n", ESP.getFlashChipSize());Serial.printf("\tCoreVersion: %s\n", ESP.getCoreVersion().c_str());Serial.print("\tBootVersion: "); Serial.println(ESP.getBootVersion());Serial.print("\tCPU Freq: "); Serial.print(ESP.getCpuFreqMHz()); Serial.println(" (Mhz)");Serial.print("\tVendor ID: "); Serial.println(ESP.getFlashChipVendorId());}void loop(){// endless loopdelay(10);}-------- end of Sketch --------

The media could not be loaded. I got these a while ago and was waiting for a project to use them on. I finally have a need for them and they are working as expected so far. In the video attached you can see one of them running a series of FastLed animations at something like 60 frames a second, no problem. As far as I can tell these are pretty standard NodeMCU boards. They do appear to be missing the second LED that many NodeMCU boards have, but that's not a reason to not use them (unless you REALLY need that LED).I was able to get WiFi running both as SoftAP and joining onto my local network no sweat.
