OSOYOO NodeMCU IOT Starter kit Open Source Programming Learning with NodeMCU ESP8266 WiFi Developmen Board and Free Tutorial for MQTT Broker

I wrote a review for this product about a year ago that gave a lot of details about the problems I had with the board in this kit. For some inconceivable reason, that review was suddenly pulled. So to avoid saying anything that breaks some esoteric rule, I'll just say that this board can't be used to connect to wi-fi, at least not using the instructions that come with it.

Was ok but... Who uses CD's anymore? Cutting edge IOT device development kit with a CD-Rom for documentation... and no url to download the contents in case you dont have a 5 year old PC that still has a CDrom drive to read it. Things that make you go hmmmm.

You are a tinkerer and want to build your own smart devices this is a great starting place to learn how to use the Internet of things and mosquito.

This is a great starter kit for learning IoT. The documemtsrion is easy to interpret and implement. One thing I wish they included was how to create an MQTT broker, but that would just be a bonus.

I can power the device from USB but when providing power to the 5v pin (and ground) it doesn't power on. Looked around online and looks like this board has issues with power that way.
