Now available from PMD Way is the ESP8266 NodeMCU development board - a true plug-and-play solution for inexpensive projects using WiFi. The module arrives pre-flashed with NodeMCU firmware so they're ready to go - just install your USB driver (below). Or you can now develop for your NodeMCU board with the Arduino IDE - so now you have an Arduino-compatible with WiFi for under $10! This NodeMCU development board contains a full ESP8266 WiFi module with all the GPIO broken out, a full USB-serial interface, and a power supply all on the one breadboard-friendly package. The NodeMCU is an open-source project and you can find all the design files and so on from their github page. This board is pre-flashed with NodeMCU - a Lua-based firmware for the ESP8266 which allows easy control via a neat scripting language - Lua - so you're ready to go in just a few minutes. Furthermore this item includes the motor shield that can be used to drive two DC motors with an operating voltage of between 4~36V DC. Naturally you need to connect external power for those motors. The shield also brings out all the I/O pins to 2.54mm pitch inline header pins for easy access. Micro USB cable not included. Using with Arduino?
