- Alupis 10y agoThe Sparkfun Thing is basically the same... they all have the ESP8266 at the core, the only difference between the various boards are board features (such as the battery connector) and how many GPIO ports of the ESP8266 chip they expose.
- seizethecheese 10y agoThanks! Basically I built a prototype on the Thing and am hoping to find a board that I can use to replace it wholesale without too many adjustments.
- Alupis 10y agoHere's a few decent breakdowns of the various boards and features[1][2][3]. With the ESP8266 chip, you have a lot of board options!
