AZDelivery D1 Mini NodeMcu WiFi Board ESP8266-12F CH340G WLAN ESP8266 Micro USB Lua Module 3.3V 500mA compatible with Arduino Including E-Book!

Product Information

The WeMos D1 min PRO is a miniature wireless 802.11 (Wifi) microcontroller development board. It turns the very popular ESP8266 wireless microcontroller module into a fully fledged development board. Programming the D1 mini pro is as simple as programming any other Arduino based microcontroller as the module includes a built in microUSB interface allowing the module to be programmed directly from the Arduino IDE (requires the ESP8266 support to be added via board manager) with no additional hardware. There are certain pins that output a 3.3V signal when the ESP8266 boots. This may be problematic if you have relays or other peripherals connected to those GPIOs. The following GPIOs output a HIGH signal on boot: Just connect an USB cable to your board - that's all (since the units have onboard UART controllers).

DS18B20 temperature sensor – this is a really accurate sensor which allows the chaining of multiple sensors on a single data wire. Serial.printf("Set json... %s\n", Firebase.RTDB.setJSON(&fbdo, parentPath.c_str(), &json) ? "ok" : fbdo.errorReason().c_str()); Next, go to “Tools>Board>Board Manager” in your Arduino IDE, select “esp8266 by ESP8266 community” from the dropdown list of available boards, and continue the installation process. One important thing to notice about ESP8266 is that the GPIO number doesn’t match the label on the board silkscreen. For example, D0 corresponds to GPIO16 and D1 corresponds to GPIO5.It is possible that a single ADC channel may not be enough for some projects, but this is a limitation of any board based upon the ESP8266. Connect the micro USB cable to the D1 Mini or NodeMCU and on your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook, open the Home app. Then follow these steps to add the HomeKit-enabled DIY weather station as an accessory to the Home app. The weather station we made will be recognized and added as an unofficial accessory. However, it will work similarly to an official Elgato Eve Degree sensor for Apple HomeKit. When the 5V pin is coupled to a 5V supply, the Wemos D1 Mini will be powered from an external 5V supply.

There boards offer enough IO pins to do a variety of different projects, however it is also possible to expand this if needed.

Step 2. Download the Arduino IDE

The ESP8266 requires 3.3V to operate, therefore all iterations of the Wemos D1 Mini and other boards using the ESP8266 chip must have 3.3V onboard to function. Additionally, the other GPIOs, except GPIO5 and GPIO4, can output a low-voltage signal at boot, which can be problematic if these are connected to transistors or relays. You can read this article that investigates the state and behavior of each GPIO on boot. First we need to connect the DS18B20 to the Wemos D1 Mini (or whichever board you are using) which is simple, it requires just 3 connections – 3.3v/5v, Ground and Data. We will use a program that flashes the on-board LED to test if the board works,. This is the same blink program included in the IDE so you might as well go to File > Examples > 01. Basics > Blink. void setup() { The technical specification of the Wemos D1 Mini is really defined by the specification of the ESP8266 chip.
