Wemos D1 mini: A first look at this ESP8266 based board.

[@KrisKasprzak]

Outstanding video, with your instructions, I got my ESP8266 running with no issues. Now the fun begins! Well done.

[@Educ8s]

Thanks Kris! You have created some amazing videos as well! Thanks for sharing them with the community! Cheers

[@mariodabek5596]

This + a PIR sensor is what im using for all my DIY motion sensors around the house for home automation

[@MkmeOrg]

Sold me! I've been waiting for a decent 8266 board that fits into a darn breadboard :) The CH340 on board and full function 8266 looks like a winner to me. Just ordered 2 :) Cheers Bud.

[@Educ8s]

Hey Eric, thank's for the comment. I have already ordered 5 more ;-) Cheers!

[@ashfaquekhan7282]

sir please make a video tutorial on wemos and OLED game console

[@kosa2004]

The Wemos D1 mini is one of my favorite boards. Im am using it to drive a 0.9 inch oled display and get weather data from Wunderground.com over Wifi. If i havent been watching this tutorial than i have noticed this cool little board very late. Very promising, inexpensive and small. Very good tutorial is always! :)

[@MatthewTaylorAu]

Thanks for publishing. Really like this video. Looking forward to learning more from your channel.

[@Musical9800]

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, appreciate your time,help and enthusiasm!

[@Educ8s]

You are welcome!

[@czapatasv]

Please continue projects with this one, we need to learn, thanks in advanced

[@jaywon555]

ESP8266 is really progressing along, good old ESP8266-01 days seems over now, thank god.

[@pepijn_m]

Thx for the review. I bought it on 11/11 but didn't know how it worked exacly

[@Vean440]

I'm awaiting for mentioned project for Wemos D1 mini to log data about temperature and humidity and send it via wifi to online database, such would be perfect with soil moisture sensor to monitor vegetables growing conditions in remote garden. With a solar power and power bank attached for better remoteness :D

[@osamaelzubair1203]

I can not find the Wemos D1 board on the Arduino Yun . I am using arduino 2.3 IDE. any suggestions ??

[@ProjectGuns]

Hi Nick, have you considered revisiting the GPS projects? It would be nice to use a mega or due with a TFT display that would display the GPS data and save it to the SD card on the display. Regards, Stan

[@PranshuTople]

does this board work if i connect it with li-ion one cell? how can i give it power input through a 3.7V battery? Will it work?

[@MrBobWareham]

Hi, would love to see a project for this board to monitor a door open time and close time with email to your phone for security and perhaps a camera to see who is coming through the door

[@nicholaschua7739]

Hi, can you do a tutorial video on esp8266 (particularly with this Wemos D1 mini board) on how to fetch data from websites like temperature and humidity, as I 'm not very sure how to do it..

[@Educ8s]

Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXLPfIh5n8t-fK8

[@TT-so3hd]

Could you please build a real-time stock follower. For example, DAX index?

[@stylesoftware]

Wow, that is very cool. It solves the first 2 problems anyone encounters with an esp-8266, power and comms. How big is the flash ram? If it's only 1mb, OTA updating is almost impossible for medium sized projects. Please tell me it is 4mb..... The chip supports up to 16..

[@michbushi]

that looks great! I would try to use it instead of Teensy board, to convert my Ergodox keyboard into a wireless model. do you think it is suitable / compatible, firmware wise (except of pins alignment)?

[@AndreiHirata]

friend do you have a project with a mph 9250 or other 9 axis sensor?

[@bibhutibhusanbehera5160]

Can we operating 5 v relay board using this module for my home automation project?

[@linuxcow9870]

Hi , could you check which 3v3 voltage regulator is on there?

[@AhCup]

Dear Friend you forgot to remove your ssid and password from the example code. May I suggest you demo how to use this board to get weather data from internet? Thank you I can't wait to see more video from you.

[@AmirAli-yk4xb]

I had purchase wemos mini and I am unable to connect with my wifi and I had seen on the internet that lot of people is having an issue to connect with the wifi. Can you please share any videos how-to connect the wi-fi

[@jhonashleyvaldez6102]

sir how to know and change the ssid and password of that wemos d1 mini because i create a voice comand that controlling a bike using wemos d1 mini esp8266? than you.

[@MsSebaastian]

I really like like your videos and I've only watched 2 this I'm definitely subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your content

[@robertsatterthwaite8958]

As usual Great video Nick. Do you think it is possible to make a pan and tilt IP cam using a cheep USB webcam two servos and this 8266 board? maybe it can not handle the bandwidth but i have not found any information for or against on the web. thanks for any help with this idea.

[@ytfp]

Tony D from Adafruit is building a laser cat toy using this idea and using an Adafruit feather hazzah. You will probably need to add a servo driver board but it is totally doable.

[@robertsatterthwaite8958]

thanks for the reply ytfp. I probably did not explain the project that I want to do properly. I am wanting to build a wifi cam using an esp8266 as the video streaming link over wifi to my local network and also be able to send control signals to servos over the same esp8266 for pan and tilt of the camera. my problem is how to send a video stream over a wifi link, what is the proper format, codec for such transfer and can an esp8266 handle the stream. I guess I could just buy a wifi cam but where is the fun in that.

[@ytfp]

Ohhh.. no esp8266 wont do any video. You will need a decoder and all sorts of stuff to stream video. Once its decoded..."possibly" but your better off with openwrt router or something for that scale of throughput (with the added bonus of usb drive slot for video you want to stream) For the control of a servo or gimbal and basic tasks your fine with an esp8266 but you need a whole nother ball of wax for the video card. **Your project seems better served with a rasberry pi 3 with the new 8mb pi camera and perhaps a servo hat.**

[@vincejustinecruz9356]

Hello! I am using wemos d1 mini with a PIR sensor. Can I use a power bank to power it up? Thankyou.

[@Educ8s]

Yes, absolutely

[@raybright5805]

Do we have a list somewhere of the original arduino libraries that have been updated to support ESP8266 ?

[@Educ8s]

I don't know any list, if some of you know, please share it with us.

[@raybright5805]

Looks like github have this in hand - Here is link to updated Arduino libraries to date github.com/esp8266/Arduino

[@triac777]

It looks like it supports I2C. It this true? Thanks for all the great videos.

[@johndough2001]

when I go to choose board mini I click on it nothing happen no window to choose the esp8266 download thanks for any help

[@ИванПетров-ф3э]

The esp8266 works at 3.3V. Seems like you are plugged in it 5V from USB? Are there any voltage regulators on Wemos esp8266 ?

[@seanocansey2956]

Иван Петров yeah there is

[@PranshuTople]

does this board work if i connect it with li-ion one cell? how can i give it power input through a 3.7V battery? Will it work? (English Please)

[@pauldusa]

you are cool and the Swiss guy too, take care, i watch you both,, most !

[@ProjectGuns]

Hi Nick, Thanks for another great video. Have you considered using a BME208 instead of a DHT22? The BME280 gives barometric pressure as well as temperature and humidity, and I think it is more accurate. than the DHT ones. Regards, Stan

[@raybright5805]

and Nick don't forget the Dallas temperature sensors DS18B20 which are more accurate & cheaper

[@norberthartmann5075]

BME 280 , BH1750 and DS18B20 - > no problem :-)

[@Educ8s]

Yes, I plan to test the BME280 soon!

[@norberthartmann5075]

ok, but there ist a big problem with temperature and humidity :-( .....

[@Bugkiller666]

Nice!! i want to create a remote occupancy sensor . Thanks foe sharing

[@muhammadfaizannisar955]

how much oled lcd draw current from esp 12e ????

[@bascelik91]

How did you managed to connect oled display just with 4 wires to the board?

[@seanocansey2956]

Lazar Jovicic i2c bus

[@JS-zy4eq]

How can I upload the firmware to this board?

[@roystervi]

hi I have the esp8266 12f with the AI-THINKER firmware.. I was able to add my script to turn a light on and off.. one problem I have, when the esp connected to my router, the esp8266 F12 obtain a IP address 192.168.0.113 from the router. however the esp8266 also shows up with another IP address 192.168.4.1 that is open and shows up an open wifi where anyone can login and turn my light on and off. is their anyway to disable the or add a password to the firmware password?

[@MakersMadLab]

bobby royster you may want to check what WiFi.mode your in. You may have to turn off AP mode. WiFi.softAPdisconnect(); WiFi.disconnect(); WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA); delay(100);

[@KaienSander10Official]

A arduino powered laptop? Is it possible????

[@wogalwogal]

Hi Thank You For Great Video ,, i just got the board and the same oled board

[@MathiasBacher]

I'm planning to build a fan to cool down the aviary of our pet quails with this board when it's getting to hot in the summer. I want it to start spinning when the temperature exceeds a certain number and also send a notification to my phone via Telegram when it's getting too hot. I'm still a beginner so I hope that I will be able to do all of that. It would be awesome if you could male a video about using Telegram to control this board because I love your style of explaining! things!

[@JonMcPhalen]

Should be easy to setup (I've done other devices), but I still get: Arduino: 1.8.1 (Windows 10), Board: "WeMos D1 R2 & mini, 80 MHz, 921600, 4M (3M SPIFFS)" Board d1_mini (platform esp8266, package esp8266) is unknown Error compiling for board WeMos D1 R2 & mini.

[@MakersMadLab]

Jon McPhalen this may some silly but I always start with the basics. 1.USB Cable, some cheap cables are only meant for charging (damn Bluetooth speaker cable) 2. Do you have ch340b drivers installed? 3. Correct com port If I think of any thing I'll come back

[@MakersMadLab]

Jon McPhalen try speed 115200

[@yaseenmallick7278]

I would like to make an ambilight clone with this and apa102 led strip for PC monitor.

[@TMS5100]

unfortunately several pins on the esp8266 are used to indicate bootloader mode and pretty much make those pins unusable for anything.

[@AEX5926]

Can it run deauther

[@mahershhab3824]

Thank you

[@vigneshk952]

Cool 😎, bro can u teach us how to create our own programme for different ardunio bored

[@ThomasHaberkorn]

do you know how to power it with a 3.7V LiPo battery?

[@Educ8s]

AN easy way is to use the Battery Shield: bit.ly/WemosBatteryShield

[@ThomasHaberkorn]

I've tried it and it works perfectly. However I have to live with very stringent space restrictions

[@pauldusa]

order the battery shield

[@silentknife24]

Hi did u find a way to power it through Lipo ?

[@PranshuTople]

did you find any way to power up board using 3.7v battery???

[@fortoday04]

Good video. I like your videos. One constructive critism: please don't repeat the chip's full name 5,000 times in the video. 😉

[@hicham3341]

السلام عليك I want to Tighten phone and arduino // USB // Do I need a driver

[@Legantmar]

I did't find SSD1306Ui.h can you share me ?

[@Educ8s]

That's the library: github.com/squix78/esp8266-oled-ssd1306

[@Legantmar]

yes, I am used this library but I did't find SSD1306Ui.h (include in your script) tell me, where I can found this library (SSD1306Ui.h) ?

[@dainazinas]

You need to modify the sketch a little. Rename all strings from "SSD1306Ui.h" to "OLEDDisplayUi.h" It`s described on the lib page.
