Microcontroller
LOLIN D1 Mini
The classic tiny ESP8266 board with a stackable shield ecosystem, still everywhere in home automation (ESPHome, Tasmota) and quick Wi-Fi hacks.
Processor
ESP8266EX Xtensa L106 @ 80/160 MHz
Logic
3.3 V GPIO
Power
USB or 5 V/3.3 V pins
Format
Compact 34.2 x 25.6 mm module with shield stacking
Check before wiring
- GPIO0, GPIO2, and GPIO15 are boot-strap pins; wrong pull levels prevent booting.
- Single ADC input is 0–3.2 V via onboard divider (bare chip is 0–1 V).
- Only ~9 usable GPIOs; D0 (GPIO16) lacks PWM/interrupt support.

Connector
2×8 pin headers (16 pins total)
USB at top, component side up, headers on both long edges
Simplified technical illustration. Pin data is source-backed; verify against the linked documentation before wiring.
Hover, tap, or focus a pad to inspect a pin. Use arrow keys to move between pins.
- USB connector at top; left column top-to-bottom = odd positions, right column = even.
- GPIO0 (D3), GPIO2 (D4), and GPIO15 (D8) are boot-strap pins — wrong pull levels at reset prevent booting.
- A0 is limited to 0–3.2 V via onboard voltage divider (the bare ESP8266 ADC is 0–1 V).
- D0 / GPIO16 has no PWM, I2C, SPI, or interrupt support and cannot wake the chip from deep sleep.
- GPIO is 3.3 V only; 5 V on any GPIO pin will damage the ESP8266.

Why it matters
- Official LOLIN docs cover pin mapping and shield stack.
- Onboard USB-serial and auto-reset for easy flashing.
- Large shield ecosystem (relay, OLED, battery, sensor).
