As an electronics enthusiast, then you will have probably heard of the ESP8266 WeMos D1 R2 WiFi Dev Board and all of the fantastic projects that can be accomplished with it. However, if you haven’t heard about it before, you may be pleasantly surprised with this great development board, which has been designed to the same format as the classic Arduino UNO, but offers slightly better features in a few different ways.

Designed to almost replicate the power of an Arduino UNO, the WeMos D1 R2 features a larger flash memory, onboard WiFi capabilities, and a few minor improvements that make it a bit more versatile and easier to use. It is also natively compatible with many of the Arduino Shields that fit the UNO, even further adding to the convenience and versatility of this inexpensive but advanced microcontroller board.
