ESP-07 ESP8266 network module with WiFi + IPX antenna connector for Arduino

ESP-07 ESP8266 WiFi network module for Arduino

The module is based on the high-performance ESP8266EX chip, the direct successor to the ESP8266. The microcontroller includes 1 MB of Flash memory and an integrated WiFi network interface. Thanks to its capabilities, the ESP-07 can work as a standalone controller or act as a converter, allowing many devices to connect to an IoT network.

The chip offers 9 independent digital inputs/outputs, all of which can operate as PWM outputs. The module also provides one analog input, increasing its versatility in electronic projects.
