ESP-01 Bread Board Adapter (ESP-01 BB Adapter)

This is a common model esp-01 breadboard adapter for esp8266 serial to WiFi transceiver module. Because the pin arrangement of ESP-01/ESP-01S is not breadboard friendly and has no label, it is not convenient for rapid prototyping. This breadboard adapter will help you make it easier to use the esp-01 module prototype. This breakthrough conveniently provides a clear lead out screen at the top and will be well suited to your favorite breadboard.

Last but not least, we added a 0.1μF decoupling capacitor, so esp-01 will always run smoothly without hindrance.

Soldering is required to fit the headers

ESP8266 ESP-01S WiFi Serial Transceiver Module (ESP8266 ESP-01S)

The ESP-01S is an upgraded version of the original ESP-01 module, built around the ESP8266EX chip from Espressif. It's a compact, low-cost WiFi module that adds wireless networking to any microcontroller project with minimal extra hardware.

Unlike the original ESP-01, the ESP-01S includes an improved onboard power management circuit, giving it more stable operation — particularly useful when connecting via USB-to-serial adapters that can't always supply clean, sufficient current. It also adds a blue status LED on GPIO2 for quick visual feedback during flashing or operation.

The module ships pre-programmed with AT command firmware, so it can be connected straight to an Arduino (or any 3.3V-tolerant microcontroller) via UART and controlled with simple serial commands — no additional firmware flashing required for basic use. For more advanced projects, it's also fully compatible with the Arduino IDE and NodeMCU/Lua firmware for custom programming.

Key Specifications:

  • Chip: ESP8266EX (Tensilica L106 32-bit low-power MCU)
  • WiFi: 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4GHz
  • Flash memory: 1MB
  • Operating voltage: 3.3V (do not connect to 5V)
  • I/O voltage tolerance: 3.6V max
  • Serial interface: UART (default baud rate 115200 bps; some firmware versions use 9600)
  • Onboard status LED (GPIO2)
  • Pin count: 8-pin (VCC, GND, TX, RX, CH_PD/EN, RST, GPIO0, GPIO2)

 

Typical uses:

  • Adding WiFi connectivity to Arduino or other microcontroller projects
  • IoT sensor nodes and remote monitoring
  • Basic home automation and smart switches
  • Low-cost prototyping before moving to a full ESP32/ESP8266 dev board

 

Note: The ESP-01S operates at 3.3V logic and is not 5V tolerant — a logic level shifter or direct 3.3V microcontroller connection is required when interfacing with 5V boards like a standard Arduino Uno. A separate USB-to-serial programmer (e.g. an ESP-01/ESP-01S USB adapter) is recommended for flashing custom firmware. We also stock a breadboard adapter for use in your projects.

ESP-01/ESP-01S CH340 USB Programmer with Switch (CH340 USB Programmer)

Tired of holding down a button every time you want to flash your ESP-01 or ESP-01S? This little adapter takes care of that for you. It uses the CP2104 USB-to-serial chip along with an auto-download circuit, so your module drops into flash mode automatically — just plug in, hit upload, and you're good to go.

It plays nicely with all the usual tools — Arduino IDE, ESP8266 Flasher, and Lexin's FLASH_DOWNLOAD_TOOLS — so whether you're a first-timer flashing your very first "Hello World" or you're constantly tweaking firmware on a stack of ESP-01s, this adapter takes the fiddly part out of the process.

What it does:

  • Plugs your ESP-01 / ESP-01S straight into USB for programming
  • CP2104 chip handles the USB-to-serial conversion
  • Auto download mode — no manual button-holding to get into flash mode
  • Works with Arduino IDE, ESP8266 Flasher, and FLASH_DOWNLOAD_TOOLS
  • Handles firmware flashing, updates, and serial debugging

 

Great for:

  • Anyone building ESP8266 projects who's tired of the "button dance"
  • Quick firmware updates without extra fuss
  • IoT tinkering, prototyping, and general ESP-01/01S experimentation

This includes all of the current Arduino modules!
 
The AS3935 Franklin Lightning Detector gives you lightning detection for your next weather project. This sensor is capable of detecting lightning up to 40 km away with an accuracy of 1km to the storm front! On the product is a sensitive antenna tuned to pick up lightning events in the 500kHz band. When sensing an event the AS3935 utilizes an interrupt to the interrupt pin, distinguishes between false and real lightning events, and has a number of features to help calibrate lightning detection. For example, there are settings for detecting from indoors or detecting from outdoors, settings to change the threshold for false events, and settings to be alerted only after a certain number of lightning strikes to name a few. We've also written an Arduino Library to get you prepared for that upcoming storm!
