WiFi Module ESP8266 ESP-12F
If you're searching for a WiFi solution that is small and affordable enough for PCB mass production, then this module is for you. The ES8266 ESP-12F WiFi Module is about as tiny as a thumb but is more powerful than its equally popular older brother ESP-01. Like the other ESP8266 chips, the ESP8266 ESP-12F is based on an ultra-low-power 32-bit Tensilica L106 microcontroller. It supports RTOS, integrated Wi-Fi MAC/BB/RF/PA/LNA, and an onboard antenna. Most importantly, it supports the standard IEEE802.11 b/g/n agreement with the complete TCP/IP stack, making its potential limitless.
The Difference Between ESP-12E and ESP-12F
- The ESP8266 is a low-cost, high-performance wireless SOC that offers countless integration options for WiFi into other systems. Like Arduino, it can handle input and output, but its unique feature is that it includes Wi-Fi.
- For the majority of "Internet of Things" projects, ESP is the greatest choice when compared to other Wi-Fi options on the market! It can also be included in complex projects because it is so inexpensive—only a few dollars—and because of this. And the Arduino IDE is also compatible with ESP. If you've used Arduino before, utilizing ESP8266 will be simple for you to learn.
- IoT projects frequently use Wi-Fi modules from the ESP family. However, there is some misunderstanding across ESP modules as a result of the quick update iteration speed and the absence of module-related information.
- The "ESP-XX" series includes the ESP-12E. It is a tiny Wi-Fi module that connects a microcontroller or CPU to the wireless network. ESP8266EX serves as the ESP-12E's brain. Using this module is relatively simple because it doesn't include any complex circuits or programming.
- The ESP-12F module belongs to the "ESP-XX" series, which combines a PCB antenna, 4MB of flash memory, and the ESP8266 microprocessor. The 12E has been upgraded into the ESP-12F. With improved stability and a stronger antenna, it is pin compatible.
- The peripheral circuit, four lamination plate process, greater impedance matching, improved signal output, stability with anti-jamming capabilities, and PCB antenna after expert laboratory testing, flawless matching, and ROHS certification, have all been considerably improved in the ESP8266-12F! Based on the SPI and the new six IO ports, mouth extraction makes programming easier and expands the scope of application.
- The ESP8266-12F chip's global remote control feature accepts three commands.
- The ESP-12F features a ground-breaking design, a redesigned four-layer board, improved RF performance in the revised antenna, and a 30%–50% improvement in communication distance over the ESP-12E!
- Built-in PCB antenna, 4M bytes Flash, and semi-hole chip technology. The entire IO leads have a metal shielding shell and have received FCC, CE, and RoHS certifications.
Note: The only difference between the ESP-12E and ESP-12F is the antenna design; they are the same size and have the same pins. It is claimed that the antenna of the more recent ESP-12F is better optimized.
