Datasheet

Serial pins
RX and TX are the serial control and bootloading pins, and are how you will spend most of your time communicating
with the ESP module.
The TX pin is the output
from
the module and is 3.3V logic.
The RX pin is the input
into
the module and is 5V compliant (there is a level shifter on this pin)
The pins are available in two places, one set is on the right side breakout. The same pins are also at the bottom on the
"FTDI/Serial" breakout
