The Sonoff Basic R3 uses the ESP8255 chip. With this version, the mains power reverts to solder rails directly on the PCB. It also moves the Wi-Fi module to a separate PCB mounted on the main PCB. It makes access to the underside of the serial interface contacts quite difficult. The Sonoff Basic R3 uses the ESP8255 chip.

This version of the device supports the new Itead DIY architecture which allows OTA firmware upload. The process for performing an OTA update requires access to a jumper on the PCB (i.e., inside the case) and further Wi-Fi hotspot and app configuration. The device was reviewed by DigiblurDIY in [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-WcIz47Lco).

The serial interface pins are broken out on the PCB making flashing using a serial adapter considerably simpler than the Itead OTA process. Since the underside of the contacts is not easily reachable, use a solderless solution (i.e., friction) to maintain contact with the pins to flash the device.
