I bought this pretty cheap ESP8266 Ai-Thinker Module onlline. In the module it is written ESP8266MOD and on the backside ESP-12-F.
However, I'm unable to find pinout,datasheets, at commands and getting started guide for this module, which are very different for different versions of this module.
Where do I get these documents?
I'm pretty new to this chip and ESP8266 docs seems to be different for AI thinker modules.
Thanks

The pinout for the 12F should be exactly the same as the 12E (See diagram below) I think the antenna is the only difference between the E and the F.
Brief-spec for the 12E can be found here.

AT commands should be the same for all ESP8266-based boards.

- Tue Apr 12, 2016 7:35 pm #45393 Yes ! the main difference between ESP12E and ESP12F is the antenna and the correction to silkscreen mistake of GPIO4/GPIO5 swapping.

Can you point me to documents that have Detailed description of the module in English.

Thanks
