  • The term NodeMCU usually refers to the firmware, while the board is called Devkit.
  • NodeMCU Devkit 1.0 consists of an ESP-12E on a board, which facilitates its use.
  • The ESP-12E is a board created by AI-THINKER, which consists of an ESP8266EX inside the metal cover.
  • It also has a voltage regulator, a USB interface.

Basics

  • Technical specifications:
CPU frequency:       80MHz, overclockable to 160MHz
Total RAM available: 96KB (part of it reserved for system)
BootROM:             64KB
Internal FlashROM:   None
External FlashROM:   code and data, via SPI Flash. Normal sizes 512KB-4MB.
GPIO:                16 + 1 (GPIOs are multiplexed with other functions, including external FlashROM, UART, deep sleep wake-up, etc.)
Programming:         using BootROM bootloader from UART. 
                     Due to external FlashROM and always-available BootROM bootloader, ESP8266 is not brickable.
  • The NodeMCU ESP8266 board has 30 pins connected to the development board.
  • Out of the 30 pins, 17 are GPIO pins.
  • These GPIO pins can be used as:
ADC Channel:            10-bit ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) channel
UART interface:         used to load code serially
PWM outputs:            for dimming LEDs or controlling motors
SPI and I2C interface:  to hook up all sorts of sensors and peripherals
I2S:                    to add sound to your project
  • These GPIO pins are multiplexed, meaning a single GPIO pin can act as PWM/UART/SPI.
