  • Board is powered via USB (5 V) or 5 V pin

  • Onboard regulator provides 3.3 V for ESP8266

✔ Safe and beginner-friendly (no external programmer required)


🔌 Pin Overview (Commonly Used)

Pin ESP8266 GPIO
D0 GPIO16
D1 GPIO5 (SCL)
D2 GPIO4 (SDA)
D3 GPIO0
D4 GPIO2 (LED)
D5 GPIO14
D6 GPIO12
D7 GPIO13
D8 GPIO15
A0 ADC (0–3.3 V max)

📌 Onboard LED is usually on D4 (GPIO2) and is active LOW.


🛠 Arduino IDE Setup

1️⃣ Add ESP8266 Board Support

  1. Open Arduino IDE

  2. Go to File → Preferences

  3. Add this URL to Additional Boards Manager URLs:

http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
  1. Open Tools → Board → Boards Manager

  2. Install ESP8266 by ESP8266 Community


2️⃣ Board Settings

Select:

  • Board: LOLIN (Wemos) D1 mini

  • Flash Size: 4M (1M SPIFFS)

  • CPU Frequency: 80 MHz

  • Upload Speed: 115200

  • Port: (your COM port)


🧪 1️⃣ Basic Blink Test (Onboard LED)

void setup() {
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // LED ON
delay(500);
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // LED OFF
delay(500);
}

✔ Confirms board, USB, and IDE setup are working
✔ LED is active LOW


🌐 2️⃣ WiFi Connection Example

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

const char* ssid = "YOUR_WIFI_NAME";
const char* password = "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD";

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

Serial.print("Connecting");
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(500);
Serial.print(".");
}

Serial.println("\nConnected!");
Serial.print("IP Address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void loop() {
}


🌍 3️⃣ Simple Web Server Example

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>

ESP8266WebServer server(80);

void handleRoot() {
server.send(200, "text/plain", "Hello from AuscomTech D1 Mini");
}

void setup() {
WiFi.begin("YOUR_WIFI", "YOUR_PASS");
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) delay(500);

server.on("/", handleRoot);
server.begin();
}

void loop() {
server.handleClient();
}

✔ Type the ESP8266 IP address into your browser
✔ Great first IoT demo


📡 4️⃣ Read Analog Voltage (A0)

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
int value = analogRead(A0);
float voltage = value * (3.3 / 1023.0);

Serial.print("ADC: ");
Serial.print(value);
Serial.print(" Voltage: ");
Serial.println(voltage);

delay(500);
}

A0 max input is 3.3 V (some boards include a divider — check before using)


🧠 Tips & Best Practices

✔ Avoid using GPIO0, GPIO2, GPIO15 incorrectly at boot
✔ Use external power for relays, motors, and servos
✔ Use pull-ups on I²C (D1/D2 already have them)
✔ Keep WiFi antennas clear of metal enclosures
