ESP8266 - ESP-07 Module - DOA - Fix

[TJ232]

I'm sure that probably you know about this new small toy in the IOT world, the ESP8266. Chinese factory hight shift has hitted the market again with a full batch of ESP-07 modules with the resonator placed wrong!!. Funny enough, it's UNDER the metal cover, offcourse.

Fixed mine, don't know how to post picture here, but you can find them and more details about at: http://esp8266-projects.blogspot.com/

May your hot air station be with you !!

It seems to be around more faulty modules than expected. This one shows very well the level of QA and testing for this type of products. Low price comes from China factories via Ebay at a quite high price ...

Considered important enough to be published also on hackaday.com

What is testing ?

What is testing ?

Testing them at least at a basic level before sending them as DoA  to customers all over the world ?

You'd think they would test or even inspect at least one per batch..

From my experience probably 100% NO!

But when happening to a certain level, it will hurt a little bit their sellers on Ebay. I don't think everybody will enjoy like me to play arround with the hotair station on a brand new product received DOA. And this can change the way that the game is played. In a positive way I hope.
