I recently got a roll of ESP8285's directly from Espressif, and I HAD to test one out. So, at Creation, I did a range test. And, sure enough, even on an awful one-layer design the module performed expertly! (Free video! Will be releasing this one to youtube later today)

ESP8285 at 460 meters. First impressions.

I decided to bring a little ESP8285 board I printed right before going to Creation 2016. There was a really easy to test two points I could range test on. I decided to first check against the ESP8266, which was a little rough and the on the ESP8285 which wasn't much worse.
