The silver plate is to fulfill the FCC requirements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_Declaration_of_Conformity and to protect the components. The first versions of the ESP8266 were not FCC approved ;-)
That's interesting to know, I had no idea, cheers...
I've bought two ESP's with an micro USB port (easier to handle). I flashed this Basic interpreter for a quick start: https://www.esp8266basic.com/ You can edit the source code via browser (C64-feeling) and the just run the code (or start it at boot automatically). Very easy. Perfect for home automation or other experiments due to the very low power supply.
Why not use B4R?
Exactly
Just wanted to do a quick test and what it can do. Just simple commands and go. Maybe I try B4R but to be honest: The ESP8266 is just a "toy" for me at the moment. I'm very curious and I like to check out these gimmicks like my Raspberries. Maybe in the future I will do some projects with them.
Test https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/esp8266-getting-started.68740/#content and you'll be surprised about the power of B4R/B4J
