- Wed May 02, 2018 9:16 pm #75729 I saw one of these and wondered... is the ESP8266 able to handle that much (32M) flash?

Or is it some marketing ploy?

The price is not to bad though...

Nevermind.

Be VERY careful - many are either poorly advertised or just plain designed to mislead, since a common configuration is 4Mbyte (which is 32Mbit), and what many have thought was 32Mbyte ended up being a 4Mbyte module. I would bet it is 4Mbytes.
