I've used the ESP-03 (no analog pin on the module, but it can be broken out=
 if you have a steady hand & fine tip or just buy a different variant) with=
 the arduino IDE extension - https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino. I found co=
ms to be a bit flakey whether used in this mode or as a simple wifi bridge =
with the original firmware. I was ising it in station mode. I may have this=
 solved now, but certainly at the expense of power consumption. I never got=
 time to figure out whether the issue was with my router or the module.  It=
s a project I'll get back to when I get more time.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has used this device with the arduino firm=
ware, in particular in low power mode.

Data point: ESP8266 with NodeMCU firmware programmed into them seem
very reliable to me.  I've not tried using the firmware they ship
with.  I'm seeing stability measured in weeks before I get bored and
stop the test.  Maybe I got good ones.
