Board With a Single Microcontroller

Boards that contain a microcontroller. Sometime people with call them microprocessor development board1, but that is only a matter of perspective.

ESP8266 based board

Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266

nodemcu board architecture

It is an architecture of boards that run with an ESP-122. Not to be confused with the nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware: Lua based interactive firmware for ESP8266, ESP8285 and ESP323.

  1. Although these development boards were not designed for hobbyists, they were often bought by them because they were the earliest cheap microcomputer devices available

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor_development_board

    reason for the existence of a development board was solely to provide a system for learning to use a new microprocessor, not for entertainment, so everything superfluous was left out to keep costs down. Even an enclosure was not supplied, nor a power supply. This is because the board would only be used in a “laboratory” environment so it did not need an enclosure, and the board could be powered by a typical bench power supply already available to an electronic engineer.

  2. NodeMCU has an ESP12, which itself is a module containing the ESP8266

  3. team which developed NodeMCU Firmware also developed a breakout board for ESP-12E module called the NodeMCU Devkit. So, many of us are actually using the board called NodeMCU and programming it with Arduino IDE and not the Lua Scripts
