About the Esp8266-io board
Esp8266-io board is an open source ESP8266 PCB design by tute-avalos, published on GitHub under the CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 69.9 × 62.9 mm, with 19 components from 13 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the NodeMCU_1.0_(ESP-12E), from the ESP8266 family. By type, the board carries 10 resistors, 4 diodes, 2 capacitors, 1 IC, 1 connector and 1 jumper.
It belongs with the iot & wireless designs in this gallery.
From the project
The ESP8266 IO Board is a didactic development platform specially designed for teaching and learning embedded systems and IoT programming. Based on the popular NodeMCU (ESP-12E) module, this board provides a ready-to-use environment where students can focus on coding, testing, and understanding real-world applications.
This repository hosts the KiCad project for an ESP8266 I/O board for education (board files, symbols/footprints library, 3D models and assets). The design was also shared on PCBWay: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/ESP8266\IO\board\for\education\_88e91d05.html
The goal of the board is to provide a simple, robust development/teaching breakout for ESP8266 modules (NodeMCU/ESP-12 family) including power supply, a selectable USB-UART option, a multi‑color RGB LED, headers for digital and analog signals and prototyping pads.

Esp8266-io board: common questions
What microcontroller does the Esp8266-io board use?
The Esp8266-io board is built around the NodeMCU_1.0_(ESP-12E), from the ESP8266 family.
How big is the Esp8266-io board?
The Esp8266-io board measures 69.9 × 62.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Esp8266-io board?
19 components, from 13 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Esp8266-io board design files?
From the tute-avalos/esp8266-io-board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Esp8266-io board design in my own project?
