Generic ESP8266 Nodemcu Esp8266 Lua Amica Wifi Internet of Things Development Board Cp2102 Iot

Not working

The quality of the board was good and while comparing to nearby shops the price is little bit cheaper. worth for money.

Great working fine only con was tha it doesn't have long wide range of wifi receiving or transmitting.Installed wifi deauther for jamming nearby wifi networks nearby..only for educational purposes that this small boatrd can do many things.

perfect work of this item and full money vassul

Value for money

In the listing it says it comes up with the robust CP2102 controller. In the product picture, the controller is the Chinese 340g. In reality mine came with the rare (and not better) CH9102, I spent about 3 hours thinking the device is faulty until I looked at the device and installed the drivers for it. Works well for now but definitely not as good as CP2102.

The media could not be loaded. The product build quality and delivery were good, all in good condition with no damages. My main issue was setting up the drivers on my Windows 11 PC with Arduino IDE's latest version!The backside of the board has some incorrect and redundant installation instructions! This board is newer but the install instructions for the drivers, etc are for the older board! The board says we need to install the "CP2102" driver! I spent 2 days trying to install this driver but every single time it just failed and I kept getting errors in Arduino IDE! Later after some more research, I found out that the driver that was needed to run this board was actually the "CH9102 Driver" and not the CP2102 driver as mentioned on the board (I found this on a blog called "ESP32 Searial Drivers" on Mechstatic Website where it clearly says some newer board may require the CH9102 driver)! This one tiny detail wasted two whole days of debugging and trying different solutions. The manufacturer or seller should have mentioned these steps on the product page! Finally, I installed the CH9102 driver from the official manufacturer's (CHN) website (it comes as a CH343SER.ZIP file, just Google it up). It basically contains an installer executable file for Windows users which installs effortlessly. Once this driver is installed, just go to Arduino IDE, install the esp8266 boards from board manager (search Google how to do this it is very easy), and then from available boards under the esp8266 category select the "Generic ESP8266 Module" as the board (Check attached picture). Select the correct port where you have connected the ESP8266 NodeMCU board. Once done, just select a sample sketch (Blink LED, etc) and compile it. There should be no errors and the blinking LED code runs successfully! (Check the compilation image above and the video of blinking LED light program running successfully!) This is how you set up this ESP8266 board on a Windows 11 PC to run any code. Hope this helps other people!
