  • Hello @user73202,

    will the pin numbers be all jumbled up?

    To clarify, as I'm sure others will need to know before they respond, by "jumbled up", did you mean is there a one-to-one match between the header pinout on the board you plan on purchasing and the Espruino pinout as from the header; or, did you mean will the GPIO# still match even when at a different header position? e.g. are they mapped the same - Is GPIO5 still GPIO5?

    I also am new to the Espruinosphere, and had tremendous results with this variant:
    https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-huzzah-esp8266-breakout/downloads
    (Note: Board came unpinned so be prepared to solder)

    Carefully following the flash instructions http://www.espruino.com/ESP8266_Flashing allowed me to be up and running in under an hour.

    Answering your question with this variant, all I can say is the AdaFruit variant pinout at the header does not match. This variant is also a trimmed down version having fewer GPIO pins available at the header.

    I was just seeking a simple play toy and wanted to experiment with the WiFi over-the-air programming rather than being tied to the USB port via a cable. Once flash programmed, I've been testing code without the USB cable attached. Running as an access point and as a web server. Pretty cool!

    At the moment, I'm still waiting myself for the same answer to toggling a single GPIO pin to power an LED sanity test. http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/299480/#comment13445860
    On a hunch, I'm going to say yes to your last question.

    I know that waiting for a response from the team does keep one patiently waiting, I thought I'd pass along some tid-bits in the mean time.

    Good luck, Have fun, and Hope this helped in the mean time.
    Robin

  • Thanks man!
    Yeah, I was meaning if there was a one-to-one match between the espruino software pinouts and the board's.
    Thanks for the great advice!
    I'm making a weather logger as a project to submit, I'm just a high schooler, so yeah my projects are kinda "nooby."
