Overview

This is a collection of resources for software/hardware/firmware development on/with an ESP8266. To be fleshed out Soon(tm).

Choice pieces of information

  • The module nominally runs on 3.3V. In practice, it tends to boot just fine as low as 2.5V, and 4.7V is the absolute maximum. Source
    • This means you can probably get away with running an ESP8266 directly off of a single Li-ion/Li-poly cell. More information on Li-ion battery voltages
    • The often-repeated information stands: This is not a 5V device. If you run it off of 5V, you will smoke it within a few seconds.
