However this totally exceeded the expectations I had.
No matter how many buttons are pushed at the same time, it still reports the statuses to the perfection.
Kinda missing a proper driver although the communication is pretty straightforward : https://github.com/tobozo/ESP8266SDUpdater/blob/master/examples/OLEDiFOO/xpad8buttons.h

I'll be getting more ot those soon, especially looking forward to see the next model :)

I've unpacked it , tested that it turns on, but didn't actually get to use it yet.
Leavening s review because tindie insists.
I wish there was documentation, e.g. what does the switch do and how to run games while tethered.

Very nice and compact design. Great python library and project. Makes prototyping little games and UI application very easy.

It's amazing the detail and quality of this. I really like the form factor, the buttons and how easy it is to upload a sketch and play.
I like it a lot! And it's another excuse to learn Python!
Good work!

These work great. The chip is so much faster than the "standard" Wemos matrix shield. I'm using them with MicroPython and they work perfectly.

Buttons shields looks really great, fully professional job!
Now time for tests :)
Fast shipping! Thanks :D

My grandson (6 yrs old) and I are planning on playing with servos and since I had a couple WeMOS D1, I went looking for a shield and discovered this one. Now I live in the US and I know international shipping can take some time, and this did. I waited a month and it never showed.

The day before I was going to email Deshipu, I got an email from him asking if I had recieved the boards yet (wow!!). When I told him I hadn't he asked me to send him the order number and he would ship out replacements. I offered to pay, but he would't hear of it. Wouldn't you know it, two days later I go out to the mail and there was the package. Fortunately I was able to email Deshipu before he mailed out the replacements.

Soldering the headers was a piece of cake. I downloaded the recommended library (you can find them in the documentation) connected the board to the WeMOS, attached a servo and ran one of teh sample programs and the servo started moving.

My grandson wants to set up sone 'spy' traps so the idea is to have a PIR on another WeMOS checking the hall. The WeMOS with the server will be on the ceiling with the servo holding some confetti. When someone goes by, the PIR will send a signal and the servo will open dropping the confetti (originally he wanted to drop something much heavier, but I talked him out of that idea - phew)

I was very impressed with Deshipu checking up on me before I had to contact him and being ready to ship off replacements. If only all businesses would run this way.

I highly recommend doing business with him.

The servo shields arrived in a short time (a couple of days), nicely packaged and all in good shape. I solder the headers, and start using it based on the very good documentation. It works as advertised. I've soldered two header-pins in the (external) power-holes for easy connecting external power supply.

The reason(s) I bought it, is that I like the small WeMOS D1 mini boards (I have a couple of them with some shields). I'll like to use the servo shield to build a small robot: body with moving arms, head turning on top of body and led-matrices as "eyes". My purpose is to investigate what may make the robot "social". I 'm try to use MicroPython instead of Arduino C/C++ (also for educational purposes). There is a driver for the PCA9685-chip used in the shield (see GitHub of Adafruit) and it works flawless. I'm still busy to setup the robot, so, I can't say yet if it will succeed.

I've read about "deshipu" in the WeMOS forum (and seen/used some work of him from GitHub) and was quite impressed. It was a nice surprise to see him on Tindie. I had no hesitating to buy from you.

After buying the shields, the owner "deshipu" sends me a message, politely asking what my intention was. Nice to see such an interest from the owner!

Would I recommend "deshipu" and his products to friends? Definitely YES.

This is my first purchase on Tindie and I was not disappointed. The product itself is a necessary one - there are no equivalents that I can find anywhere. I'll be using the product to create a more compact animatronics driver than is possible with the arduinos I've used in the past. The added bonus of the wifi on the esp8266 is interesting too and might allow for simple live performance control. This board really opens up some intriguing possibilities. It fits nicely on top of the d1 minis and is very high quality (much more so than the minis themselves). The board is manufactured at OSHpark (at least this prototype I received is) and so is elegant and high quality. The pins used turned out to be very strong high quality also. This was a good thing as they arrived bent but I was able to fix them. After a quick email exchange the conclusion was the pin rows should be soldered by the customer in future.

In this prototype a trace needs to be cut to switch from esp routed power to external power - external power being a must for most scenarios of use I guess. In the future this will be a jumper I'm told, which will make this board even better.

Shipping was fast and inexpensive and thats important - hate to pay more for shipping than for the board.

This is a quality product, a necessary one in the market and a good, friendly seller.
_Strongly_ recommended.
