About 6.50$ from here. These are the same boards I sell on my site for 20$ but if you are going to be teaching a class you could have 8 of them for around 50$

They include all of the power circuitry for 5v and 3v and are easy to deploy in a project using a cell phone charger for the power.

Please post up if you find any problems with the docs. Looking to do a good scrub on them here soon breaking up to one page per command and having a nice list of the commands.

- Fri Dec 18, 2015 12:53 am #36699 I purchased the ESP8266 Flasher from Tindie, and have been using it to flash ESP8266Basic on to a bunch of ESP-01 modules. It works great. I figured I'd introduce the kids to the ESP-01 at first (I got 10 from China for around $15 including shipping), but the node mcu clone you mentioned would be the perfect next step.
