ESP8266-01 Adapter

Hello guys,

here I want to show the way to my own build Adapter for the ESP8266-01.

When you look in the net no one can give a good and simple adapter for the ESP8266-01 to fullfill the following requests:

• having a board for the ESP8266 which make the GPIOs easily available for use
• having the possibility to to add PullUp resistors to the GPIO 0 and 2.
• a voltage controller for a stable voltege for the ESP chip
• an interface for the USB2TTL-Adapter
• a button for reset
• a button for flash

And thats it!

lets look to the first prototype...

Step 1: First Prototype of the Adapter

Thats the first Prototype.

Here you see the prototype with the following features:

• a board which can carry the esp8266-01
• an interface for:
  • 5 V
  • Gnd
  • GPIO0
  • GPIO2
• an interface for the USB2TTL:
  • 5 V
  • Gnd
  • Tx
  • Rx
• a reset button
• a jumper for flash mode
• Pullups and voltage controller
• the adapter is ready for plugin into a case

Step 2: The More Professional Version

That's the next sample stage.

• an enhanced interface:
  • 5 V
  • Gnd
  • 3,3 V
  • GPIO0
  • GPIO2
• an interface for the USB2TTL:
  • 5 V
  • Gnd
  • Tx
  • Rx
• a reset button
• a button for flash mode
• Pullups and voltage controller

And the adapter is ready for plugin into a case...
