MOD-WIFI-ESP8266 and MOD-WIFI-ESP8266-DEV are suitable for people already familiar ith ESP8266. They are small,
a%ordable and &t custom designs perfectly. Ho ever, their stand-alone usage might provide a challenge for beginners. The
main di+culty comes from the hard are adjustments you ould need to perform in order to change the boot mode of the
board. Entering UART mode ould require cu1ng and soldering of SMT jumpers (hard are revision B of MOD-WIFI-ESP8266-
DEV introduces a bu4on for easier access to UART boot mode).
