I like ESP8266 and ESP8285 and ESP32

My ESP8266 dev board https://www.tindie.com/products/Ba0sh1/ ... d-adapter/

- Tue May 26, 2015 11:33 pm #18562 I did consider that but I initially thought the NodeMCU board would be very popular and I wanted t keep the same size and pinout. There wasn't any room if I wanted to keep the same size.

Personally I think the best option is to eliminate mounting the ESP-12 module and instead just mount the ESP8266EX chip directly on this board. My board is 4 layers so I have much better power and ground than the 2 layer modules. If I mounted the ESP8266EX chip directly the cost would be the same but I would have control over the design as well as extra space to mount other circuits like the USB serial chip and maybe a 4 channel ADC if there was interest.

- Sun May 31, 2015 6:52 am #19025 I've been thinking about this board. What is most interesting and useful to me is the BQ25505. What i'd like is just the cheapest simplest board with a BQ25505, i guess the TPS63011, and pads to add an ESP-07/ESP-12 as its nice to have the flexibility of pcb or external antenna. Anything extra over that isn't needed IMHO and would increase the cost.
