LITERATURE REVIEW

JOURNAL 1

NODE MCU

1st and 2nd generation boards are easy to tell apart because their size is quite different. Both generations use ESP-12 chips with 4MB flash but the 2nd generation uses the newer and enhanced ESP-12E.

1st generation / v0.9 / V1

The original but now outdated dev kit is usually sold with an outstanding yellow board and is very wide. Its 47mm x 31mm mean that it covers all 10 pins of a regular bread board which makes it very inconvenient to use. It comes with a ESP-12 module and 4MB flash memory.

          

2nd generation / v1.0 / V2

The V2 fixes the short comings of the initial board, it’s more narrow and fits nicely into bread boards. The chip was upgraded from a ESP-12 to a ESP-12E.

       

V3

Turns out that V3 is a “version” invented by producer LoLin to signify minor improvements to the V2 boards. Among others they claim their USB port to be more robust. If you compare the pin layout there’s only a tiny difference to the V2 layout. LoLin decided to use one of the two reserve pins for USB power out and the other for an additional GND. This LoLin 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.
