Great vid! Loved the detailed "what it is", "what it does" and "how to plug" parts. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-mr3mf8lo7y]

Excellent summary (in 5 min). Great work.

[@chagd]

I don't even have to own one, and it's already frying my brain.

[@clemensruis]

I've been working with the Esp8266 for years now, using both the NodeMcu board and the ESP-12E module, and I still found this video very interesting.
Can you point me to some datasheet showing that the I/O pins are 5V tolerant? Every site mentions 3.6V as maximum (could be for VCC, but no mention of 5V tolerance for I/O)

[@AhmedSalah-cs8jk]

Nice video, Nice presenter, Nice job.
Hope you to reach one million in one year.
Thanks for every thing.

[@MrDIYca]

thanks, so nice of you

[@bentsprockettech]

So awesome. Thank you for doing this one.🙂

[@MrDIYca]

You are so welcome!

[@rokmysoxbaby]

Very informative video and nicely done. Subscribed for more!

[@MrDIYca]

Awesome, thank you!

[@kelvintheiah]

If im using esp01 with pico, do i need to do the software part in sketch?

[@monkeydkfetus]

Brilliant video, thank you.

[@MrDIYca]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Anyone know where to put my multimeter on a wemos d1 mini to test if it’s toasted?

[@tanajiburungale450]

nice short best information... thanks.. its helping

Thanks and. Byeeee melt my heart

[@kaluyabrian9058]

hi you have not covered ESP8266EX BOARD

[@PortableFreezer]

hmm im watching 3 vids of this at same time. this is the only one that says CHPD to GND instead of 3.3V VCC. Is this a mistake?

[@MrDIYca]

No

[@PortableFreezer]

@@MrDIYca thx, I'll try doing it to ground. Having a couple issues. Had a friend say GPIO0 shouldn't be soldered to Vcc, just a button for flashing program, so gonna implement that and then try this.

[@qzorn4440]

nice english info.. 😎 thanks

[@nsgnc]

Is it 5 volt tolerant? Many sources say not tolerant. 1:23

[@MrDIYca]

You are right; officially, on paper in the datasheet, no. But test after test shown it is and I think there was even allegedly an unofficial "official" reply from Espressif CEO saying it is 5v tolerant . Give it a google.

[@user-mr3mf8lo7y]

Hayir, kesinlikle 5V kullanmamalisiniz. Voltaj araligi 2.5 - 3.6.

[@todortodorov940]

@@MrDIYca Just because it didn't release magic smore doesn't mean it won't in the future. The Espressif FAQ states max. 3,6 Volt and I've been unable to find *official* information about the 5V tollerance.

[@user-xz5bi3wu4d]

Why 8266? Is there any specific reason for 8266 ..

[@MrDIYca]

Because it was released on 08/26/2016 ... aaand this is how fake news starts :)
On a serious note, I don't know. Maybe it is their internal model numbering at Espressif.

[@user-xz5bi3wu4d]

May be I think
8bit processor
2 SCL, SDA used for software purpose
6 there is no flash memory so we are giving external memory by using 6 pins
6- 2× USB PINs

about my project.....

Did you take wattles them song 😭

[@MrDIYca]

Ya, it is actually called Scarlet Fire by Otis McDonald. It is part of TH-cam's royalty-free music library. You can use it too ;)

@@MrDIYca nice xD

[@espero_dev]

Hmm great because I am going to make a wifi router lol
