ESP8266 Water Level Device: Tips & Pinout
Hi everyone, my client asked me for a water level measuring device, just like I made earlier but in this time with esp8266, now this is the first time I work with it, can anyone give information about it... Speed.. Pinout, anything to put in mind before starting??

Esp8266 is a good module, though esp32 is a upgraded version
Pinouts are easily accessible on web, you can refer from that
Regarding the speed, it only uses wifi so should be fine if you are working on a small prototype or something. But if you want to implement you have to test it with better modules
Esp8266 are essentially made for prototyping and in very few cases it is used properly in a product. Also they tend to heat up after some use or some boards tend to fry, if not used correctly so make sure that you check the documentation once to be sure
And keep some extra esps...
