#73442 hi,

Still a ESP noob but trying things out.
I'd like to draw a new board with KiCAD using a ESP 07 or 12 for adding a couple wireless sensors to a project.

to start somewhere, and test my code/wiring, I bought a Huzzah and this unknown board;
https://abra-electronics.com/wireless/w ... odule.html
description mention that it's 12 but looking at the chip cover I can read 8266MOD AI Thinker and it only has 16 pins *8 on each sides.

I updated my code to the chip placing the GPIO and Ground.
running it without anything (other than power).

so here come in the confusion.
so many tutorials online showing how to use the 01, 12E, and a tons of variants, it but I'm basing my development on too many sources. I'm looking to a clear detailed usage of the 07 ( so I can add an external antenna to my enclosure )
looking at official documentations; http://espressif.com/en/support/download/documents
I can't find anything about the things like putting the GPIO HIGH or LOW.
I'd like a real basic, not talking about sensors, not talking about power regulators, simply the raw usage of the chip itself to help clear my drawing and send that board to pcbway and finally test it :) for real !
