Joy-it sbc-esp8266 User guide

ESP8266

WiFi module

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Dear customer,

thank you for choosing our product. In the following, we will show what
you should note at the commissioning and during the usage.

Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please do not
hesitate to contact us.

2. INITIAL SETUP

Open the preferences of your Arduino program and add the following line to
the additional board manager URLs like shown in the following pictures:

http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

Download the additional data of the ESP8266 from the board manager.

Select now the ESP8266 as the board.

Attention! Please note that you must select the accurate port from
the menu “Port“ which is beneath the board manager.

3. CONNECTION OF THE MODULE

Use with a TTL-cable

Attention! Please note that the TTL-adapter unit is set on a voltage
supply of 3.3 V and a current supply of 350 mA. Verify this if
necessary.

Connect the module with the TTL-cable with the aid of the following chart.
The pin assignment of the ESP8266 can be seen in the picture above.

4. CODE TRANSMISSION

In the following, we demonstrate the transmisson of the code with the code
example from the ESP8266-library.
To transfer the code to the ESP8266, you have to select the desired code

example from the example menu of the Arduino soware.

The used baudrate (“Upload Speed“ in the menu “Tools“)for the
transmisson should be 115200.

Attention! Before you can transfer the new code to the ESP8266,
you must set the module into the programming mode:

For the use with a TTL-cable:

Separate the power supply (VCC) from the ESP8266 module and connect

them again aerwards. The module should start in the programming mode.

If you do not have any success with this method, you can try the Arduino
method.
In some cases this alternative works better even with the TTL-cable.

For the use with an Arduino:

Separate the power supply (VCC) from the module and set the GPIO0 pin

from 3.3 V to 0 V (GND). Aer that restore the power supply.
As soon as the soware has been transferred, the module can be set again

into the normal operation status.
For this, separate again the current supply, set the GPIO0 pin to 3.3 V and
restore the power supply.

When you have set the module into the programming mode, you can start
the transmisson. Do not forget that you must switch back to the normal

operation status aer the transmisson is nished.

5. FURTHER INFORMATION

Our information and redemption obligation according to
the electro-law (ElektroG)

Symbol on electrial and electronic products :

This crossed-out bin means that electrical and electronic products do not
belong into the household waste. You must hand over your old appli-ance

to a registration oice. Before you can hand over the old appliance, you

must remove used batteries and accumulators which are not enclosed by
the device.

Return options :

As the end user, you can hand over with the purchase of a new device
your old appliance (which has essentially the same functions as the new
one) free of charge for disposal. Small devices which do not have outer
dimensions greater than 25 cm can be submitted independently of the
purchase of a new product in normal household quantities.

Possibility of restitution at our company location during our opening
hours :

Simac GmbH, Pascalstr. 8, D-47506 Neukirchen-Vluyn

Possibility of restitution nearby :

We send you a parcel stamp with which you can send us your old appliance
free of charge. For this possibility, you must contact us via e-mail at
[e-mail] or via telephone.
