Getting started

flash your first firmware in ~2 minutes
Tool:
1
Connect over USB
Serial chip: CP2104. Not detected? Hold BOOT while plugging in.
2
Flash with your tool
Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, ESPHome or esptool - copy the settings on the right.
3
Verify it runs
The blink example uses GPIO8 - swap for your board's LED pin if different.

About this board

Expect to pay about $14.95 - in line with other ESP8266 boards.


The Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 (also called the Feather HUZZAH or Adafruit HUZZAH ESP8266) is a Wi-Fi development board built on Espressif's ESP8266 with 4 MB of flash and a SiLabs CP2104 USB-to-serial chip for programming. It uses Adafruit's Feather form factor for the stacking FeatherWing ecosystem and adds a built-in 100mA LiPo battery charger with JST connector plus onboard status LEDs. That makes it well suited to portable, battery-powered Wi-Fi IoT projects. In this guide, you'll find the Feather HUZZAH ESP8266 pinout, datasheet, technical specs, and setup instructions.
