💬 ESP-LINK ESP8266 WeMos D1 Mini Adapter Board

wow, do they have trained monkeys doing the soldering or some guy soldering them the wrong way on purpose.
-
Or maybe they're selling them cheaply because they're rejects that were soldered wrong, and they know it.

@NeverDie I usually buy mine for $2.60 or even $2.47 so the sale is not that big. They've just yanked up the "standard" price now to make it look like the sale is on.

Where do you buy them for that price? I remember Wemos selling them for $4 when they first came out, and then I stopped checking. Even $2.60 seems like a good deal to me if the seller has a high reputation.

Here you will find some cheap ones for today:

There's a catch on the $2.57 listing. I could only get free shipping if I purchased a single unit. If I attempted to buy more than one in a single order, then shipping was no longer free.

I just now noticed that there's a new version 2 of the D1 Mini. So, maybe the version 1's are priced low because they're being liquidated? Anyhow, Wemos claims it's more stable and has 30% greater radiated emissions. So, I decided to order some of those instead.

I notice Wemos now also has a 16 Megabyte version of the ESP8266. i.e. 4x the flash of an ESP-12F. I suppose that would make it a better webserver.

@NeverDie sorry. You had not posted the second link yet when I wrote my reply.
I noticed the larger pcb antenna on your first link so I thought that was the difference, but the ones I have are the old version then, they don't have the v2 stuff on the back side.
The 16MB version sounds nice. I have had trouble fitting all javascript and images on the 4MB version.
-
I think the Version 2 WeMos must have been out for a while already, because the Wemos's I already have and which I purchased a while ago appear to be the Version 2 variety. So, maybe it's old news.

Well, then, here you go: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/WEMOS-D1-mini-Pro-16M-bytes-external-antenna-connector-ESP8266-WIFI-Internet-of-Things-development-board/1331105_32724692514.html?spm=2114.8147860.0.0.wNYDeV
Not much of a bump in price either. Just $5.

@NeverDie thanks.
I've been planning to either offload the files to a cdn (but that only works when the device has an Internet connection of course) or store them on a SD card (which would give access to gigabytes of storage) but there might be cases where the 16MB is a better alternative.

Are your boards clones? They look different than mine. Mine have rounded corners, and they say WeMos.cc on the front. Yours don't have that.
