Testing and using a ESP8266 board
Electronic Setup
Supply the board with 3.3V on VCC, best run it with a voltage source or regulator that can at least deliver 300mA (many arduino boards have 3.3V regulators on board, but they deliver less than 300mA). Initial testes just with a ftdi usb to serial converters show unstable wifi connections, sometimes even board startup is impossible (the esp8266 board draws too much current).
