ESP8266 Wifi Shield(AD010)

Description

The shield is designed based on esp8266 by Espressif Systems, pin-compatible with Arduino
UNO/Mega2560 DevBorad. Which can be used as two independent part, the upper part is for
the Arduino UNO/Mega pin-extension board, the bottom part is for the Esp8266 expansion
board. Now the Arduino IDE which is higher than 1.6.4 can be installed Esp8266 board package,
so you can control the esp8266 board through the Arduino IDE, not just AT Command. The install
method please refer the weblink at last of this guide.

The serial wifi shield has the following features:

1.WiFi module is industrial-grade chips ESP8266, which is ESP-12E with metal shield, strong anti­interference ability;

2, Shield is pin-compatible with Arduino Uno, Mega2560 and other control board. A voltage
converter chip is used to deal with 3.3V (Esp8266) and 5V (Arduino);

3, Dual DIP switches is used for serial ports so that this module shield can be used alone as an
Arduino Uno expansion board, and also be used as ESP8266 expansion board;

4, Serial data is transported to WiFi device transparently, and vice versa. Arduino program does
not need any configuration;

5, WebServer is developed to configure WiFi parameters and serial port parameters;

6, The module shield can be used as an independent ESP8266 development board. for instance,
downloading the official AT commands firmware, NodeMCU open source firmware can be used;

7, The module shield also can be used as stand-alone expansion board for Arduino Uno.
