The NodeMCU CP2102 Module
features the ESP8266 chip for Wi-Fi connectivity. It uses the CP2102
USB-to-serial chip for seamless communication with a computer
Description:
The NodeMCU CP2102
is a development board based on the ESP8266 WiFi module. The CP2102 is a
USB-to-UART bridge chip that enables communication between the ESP8266 module
and a computer through the USB interface. The NodeMCU development boards are
widely used for IoT (Internet of Things) projects due to their built-in WiFi
capabilities.
Features:
ESP8266 Module:
The NodeMCU CP2102 is built around the ESP8266
WiFi module, which provides WiFi connectivity for IoT applications.
CP2102 USB-to-UART Bridge:
The CP2102 chip facilitates USB communication
between the NodeMCU board and a computer.
GPIO Pins:
The NodeMCU board has multiple GPIO (General
Purpose Input/Output) pins that can be used for connecting sensors,
actuators, or other peripherals.
USB Micro-B Port:
It comes with a USB Micro-B port for programming
and power supply.
Onboard Voltage Regulator:
The onboard voltage regulator allows the NodeMCU
board to be powered using a USB connection.
Lua Script Interpreter:
NodeMCU firmware is often used on these boards,
providing a Lua script interpreter for easy programming.
Pinout:
The pinout of the
NodeMCU CP2102 includes GPIO pins, power pins, ground, and other essential
connections. The specific pin mapping can vary slightly depending on the
NodeMCU version, so it's essential to refer to the documentation or silk screen
on the board.
