Needed hardware

  • ESP8266 Serial WIFI Wireless Transceiver Module
  • DHT11 or DHT22 Temperature/Humidity module
  • DC 5V to 3.3V Step-Down Power Supply Module AMS1117-3.3 LDO 800MA

Required softwares and modules

Schematic and PCB design

Schematic

  • JP1 USB programmer port pins 1 = RXD, 2 = TXD, 3 = GND
  • JP2 Connector for DHT11/DHT22 module, NOTE we give 5V to this module, some older modules works better with 5V DC
  • JP3 Jummper pins for enable ESP8266 flash mode, remove jumpper when running. If flash mode is enable during running, it may cause ESP re-booting problem.
  • JP4 reset pin, connect to ground for HW reset
  • 5V-IN pins for input 5V DC, pns 1 = 5V, 2 = GND
  • 3V-OUT Connector for DC 5V to 3.3V Step-Down Power Supply

Needed supplies

Connecting ESP8266 to FT232RL

IMPORTANT! Before you start connect FT232RL pins to ESP8266 chip, ensure that FT232RL output voltage is set to 3.3V Over voltage may kill you ESP8266.
