This software will work for all versions of windows. Here is the link http www. CH3. 41. SEREXE. This instructable is based on pc but here is a link for a solution for Mac users http 0xcf. Now plug in your Chinese clone and try again. It should work just fine. The board should be visible now in the Arduino IDE and ready to use. Course English DKBL suit for NEJE Meterk DKBL CONTENTS Quick Review How to use it with laptop or desktop computer How to use it with android phoneI upload the blink sketch to the board and it all works. In some cases the board might still not work. This is because there is no bootloader installed on the Atmel microcontroller ship. To solve this problem we need a working Arduino and the clone Arduino we want to fix. Comparison of ESP8. Node. MCU development boards my. A comparison of ESP8. Node. MCU development boards must inevitably also compare the ESP8. The comparison can be confusing not because there are many different boards theres only 3 but because there are several names for the same thing. Since this article has become quite long, and to give you an idea what to expect, I decided to put a TOC here Names of Node. MCU development boards. Its unfortunate that theres a mixup of version and generation names. Generation. VersionCommon Name. V1. 2nd. 1. 0. V2. V3. What I put in the 3rd column is just my observation of products in Chinese online shops such as Banggood and Ali. Express. The last item is an odd one. A while a ago I started noticing this one product marketed as V3 even though it looks like a regular V2 board to me. What further contributes to the naming jungle is precisely the fact that the hardware is open source and anyone can produce and market Nodu. MCU development boards. There currently are three primary producers Amica see Node. CH340-windows-7-driver.jpg' alt='Usb Serial Ch340 Driver Windows 7 Free Download' title='Usb Serial Ch340 Driver Windows 7 Free Download' />MCU and Amica below, DOITSmart. Arduino, and Lo. LinWe. Mos. Comparison of Node. MCU development boards. Both generations use ESP 1. MB flash but the 2nd generation uses the newer and enhanced. ESP 1. 2E. 1st generation v. V1. The original but now outdated dev kit is usually sold with an outstanding yellow board and is very wide. Its 4. 7mm x 3. 1mm mean that it covers all 1. Theres a blog post with a picture that demonstrates this quite clearly. They seem to be produced by Amica primarily my guess. It comes with a ESP 1.

MCU development board. Pin layout of 1st generation ESP8. Node. MCU development board. Source https github. V2. The V2 fixes the short comings of the initial board, its more narrow and fits nicely into bread boards. The chip was upgraded from a ESP 1. ESP 1. 2E. 2nd generation ESP8. Node. MCU development board. Pin layout of 2nd generation ESP8. Node. MCU development board. Source https github. V3. So, whats with the V3Node. MCU havent released a new specification so far. Hence, theres no official 3rd generation board. Turns out that V3 is a version invented by producer Lo. Lin to signify minor improvements to the V2 boards. Among others they claim their USB port to be more robust. Pin layout Lo. Lin Node. MCU development board V3. Source http www. HardwarePin. If you compare the pin layout theres only a tiny difference to the V2 layout. Lo. Lin decided to use one of the two reserve pins for USB power out and the other for an additional GND. Watch out though for the difference in size This Lo. Lin board is significantly larger than the Amica and DOIT V2 boards. Because of its size I would never use it. There are clearly better alternatives. AND whats Lo. Lin got to do with We. Mos I wish I knewThe pin layout you see here was originally hosted on wemos. Relationship between Node. MCU and Amica. Whats the relationship between Node. MCU and Amica Heres what I know. Many V2 boards are created by or at least labeled with Amica. Its a brand name created by the Dutch Gerwin Janssen who seems to spend a lot of time in Shenzhen, China. He owns the amica. Although not officially part of the original Node. MCU team Gerwin designed a name for the devkit v. Amica. The team liked it and adopted the name. Official vs Unofficial. Node. MCU posted a photo on Facebook which shows official and unofficial V2 boards. I dont really understand the notion of official. Its my understanding that with open source hardware theres no such thing as official boards. What it maybe means is that Amica is the endorsed producer and DOIT Lo. Lin are not. Official Node. MCU 1. 0V2 development board. Node. MCU posted another photo on Facebook see left with specifics what is considered official and what not. Amica really seems to be the only producer which is 1. V2 Node. MCU hardware spec. The Amica boards are not sold at Banggood but you can still get them at Ali. Express and seeed studio if you search carefully. Beware that these days many devices advertised as Node. MCU V2 are NOT spec compliant. Alternatives. We. Mos D1 mini. At the end of 2. Microsoft Office Visio For Enterprise Architects. We. Mos D1 mini. It has roughly the same width as a V2 Node. MCU devkit but at 3. It runs an ESP 8. EX MCU and provides 4. MB flash. Its nine GPIO pins make the D1 mini suitable for a large Io. T target audience. It supports both Arduino and Node. MCU. We. Mos D1 mini, a Node. MCU devkit alternative. We. Mos also sells a number of shields of equal size which allows to build nicely stackable units. The only downside for many may be that you have to solder the pins yourself. Each D1 mini comes with a pair of long and short female pins and a pair of normal pins. Some reports on the Internet claim that it can be a bit difficult to get proper drivers for the CH3. USB to serial chip on the D1 mini. Thats the same chip used by some of the cheap Arduino clones. Also, its obviously got a few pins less than the Node. MCU boards, check the pin map. How else would they be able to reduce the length so muchOn the other hand its also got a 5. V out just like the Lo. Lin V3. Oh, and the best part Theyre sold at Aliexpress for just 4 I ordered mine on December 1. Theyre sent by registered air mail. Wi. Fi. MCUDOITSmart. Arduino, producer of V2 boards, also has a dev kit alternative that uses a Cortex M4 chip instead of the ESP8. AdafruitSpark. Fun. Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8. Breakout. Among the others two that come to mind pretty quickly are the Spark. Fun ESP8. 26. 6 Thing and the Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8. Breakout. I dont own either of them but the Adafruit board, as most of their stuff, looks pretty neat. Its a bit smaller than the Node. Chrysler Diagnostic Software. MCU dev kits but you need a special USB to TTL serial cable rather than a standard USB cable. Recently I discovered Adafruit sells a development very similar to the Node. MCU v. 2 dev kit but with an additional Li. Po connector pretty cool. See the separate article for details. Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8. Li. Po connector. ESP8. 28. 5 development board.
