Hi,

I'm looking for an ESP8266 ESP-01 serial WiFi module with the AT commands already in the firmware. I looked on Amz but the reviews for all of them were so mixed that I have no idea whether they were of good or poor quality there.

I tried pimorini and element14 but neither seems to stock them, surprisingly.

Can anyone recommend a brand and the best place to order one online in the UK?

Thanks
JY

Hi,

I just did a Google search and saw that there is a SEEED version, at:

Farnell:

Thank you Derek!

Ouch. Just tried to order one and it seems that it comes form the US, so one unit costs £38.95 with shipping!!!

Looks like you may be able to get a version direct from Seeedstudio...


Although this looks like a better match picture wise:

Thanks Pr0f

I will blame you for drawing my attention to that device I think it may be on my 'get one' list now

I think the specific ask on this was that it either had to have or could be updated with the AT command firmware - not all those boards on ebay can be used that way - although there are some on there I found that look promising
