Getting Started with EPS8266-12E Wi-Fi | ESP8266-12E 筆記本

I wanted to test out ESP8266 for a long time. However, I never got it to work until today. There are many tutorials and articles detailed how to make ESP8266 work, but even I followed many of those tutorials step by step mine ESP8266 just didn't work.  It was very frustrating not able to figure out what went wrong.  Anyway, I got it worked today, so it's better for me to write the steps down, not just for blog visitor like you, but also for myself as a good reference later on. Previous three failed attempts... 😒 Different Version of ESP8266 There are many ESP8266 variations, the one I used for this tutorial is ESP8266-12E. Please refer to this page [2] to get more information for ESP8266 variations. ESP8266 Pin Assignment Most of the people probably will solder ESP8266 with metal covers facing up, so I placed a reversed pin assignment on the right side for easier pin reference. Material Needed: ESP8266-12E * 1 Perfboard * 1  Breadboard * 1  Wire
