They work just as they should! have several choices for pins (included), so it won't be difficult to solder what you want on them, or not, if that's what you prefer. In terms of pin outs and features, these have exactly the same pinout as the WeMos D1, with the exception that they do not have the WeMos logo. ESP8266 can be programmed with the Arduino IDE by just installing the ESP-ELFI driver All you need to do is install 8266 libraries. It was a mini-event A USB port is super convenient, you can plug it into your computer to receive power plus monitor the serial port.
Each of these devices is cheap and it worked fine if no other I2C devices were in the system, however the pull-up resistor was problematic. In the case of my device, the push-pull resistance was 2K2 Ohms, so if other i2c devices are attached, you will have too much pull-up that will cause your i2c bus to fail. There were three of us in my set up. The board has four i2c devices connected at 3V. Taking my business cards to get on the I2C bus is a better alternative to Adafruit's 8451 devices, which are more expensive but work reliably.
The kits are not very accurate, but since I'm only using them for acceleration changes, this does not matter that much. In general, I do not recommend these parts since there are better options out there.
It is packaged in anti-static bags It comes with two sets of header pins for each unit and is packed in static bags. Getting the bootloader working on the Arduino IDE was easy. I would also recommend it to beginners since it wasn't hard to get the bootloader to work.
I was able to use the proper code/library to get this to work exactly as I wanted. The issue is not an issue.
You get what you pay for. It works fine.
