Hi 'hiletgo' link you supplied is one of many 'similar-ish' PCB modules with the ESP8266 itself and support chips, hidden under the rectangular metal lid with 'WiFi' etc written on it on the 'upper' level board, which is soldered to the lower level board with more support chips for USB connection, etc.Īs wisely says above, unless you have a particular reason to use Diptrace, picking a 'mainstream' PCB design system that is recognised by PCB manufacturers is a good idea, and Kicad is probably the strongest contender of the free ones. However, if you are thinking about one of the PCB modules, I suspect you will need to create your own. I don't know if any of the supplied versions would also be suitable for Diptrace. If you are referring to the 'bare chip', the reference web page above includes a link to download PCB support. the more common PCB packages will be supported at the 'bare chip' level for the common PCB packages, but I am more doubtful regarding the PCB board modules. I haven't seen Diptrace mentioned before. A quick Google will show there are lots of variations on these boards, although 'influential' companies like Adafruit will often be closely cloned. to make it easier to use, These are typically on small PCBs with external connections on 0.1 inch/2.54 mm pitch. However, it is widely available as modules, often also just labelled ESP8266, which have accompanying chips, connection pins, etc. Hi amplify Ron's ( wise words, the ESP8266 itself is a small 5 mm x 5 mm device.
