Description
The ESP8266 ESP-01 module is a Wi-Fi module that allows microcontrollers (like Arduino) to access a Wi-Fi network. The ESP8266 WiFi Module is a self contained SOC with integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can give any microcontroller access to your WiFi network. The ESP8266 is capable of either hosting an application or offloading all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.
This module has a powerful enough on-board processing and storage capability that allows it to be integrated with the sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. Its high degree of on-chip integration allows for minimal external circuitry, including the front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area. This makes the ESP8266 very versatile, and it can save you on cost and space in your projects.
Note:
- The ESP8266 Module is not capable of 5-3V logic shifting and will require an external Logic Level Converter. Please do not power it directly from your 5V dev board.
- This new version of the ESP8266 WiFi Module has increased the flash disk size from 512k to 1MB.

The module has a 2 x 4 Header on the assembly. See pic for layout as the boards may not have the pins labeled.
- GND = Ground. Connect to ground on MCU
- GPIO2 = General Purpose Digital I/O
- GPIO0 = General Purpose Digital I/O
- RX = Receive Data. Connects to RX on MCU
- TX = Transmit Data. Connects to TX on MCU
- CH_PD = Enable / Power Down. Must be pulled to 3.3V directly or via pull-up resistor to enable
- RST = Reset. Active low, must be pulled to 3.3V directly or via pull-up resistor
- VCC = 3.3V. Can draw up to 200mA worse case.
