- In this video we are going to take a first look at the Wemos D1 mini board. The new impressive ESP8266 based board. It is very small in size, very inexpensive but very powerful!
If you have watched some of my previous videos you will remember that I recently tested the WeMOS D1 board which resembles an Arduino Uno but uses the much faster and capable ESP8266 chip. Recently I discovered on Banggood.com another very promising board, the D1 mini board which also uses the ESP8266 chip. This board costs $5.6 and Banggood.com was kind enough to send a sample unit in order to test it and share my opinion about it with you.

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.
Hey Eric, thank's for the comment. I have already ordered 5 more ;-) Cheers!
sir please make a video tutorial on wemos and OLED game console
It works fine. Lol!
Good video. I like your videos. One constructive critism: please don't repeat the chip's full name 5,000 times in the video. 😉
I can not find the Wemos D1 board on the Arduino Yun . I am using arduino 2.3 IDE. any suggestions ??
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!
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, appreciate your time,help and enthusiasm!
You are welcome!
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! :)
This + a PIR sensor is what im using for all my DIY motion sensors around the house for home automation
It looks like it supports I2C. It this true? Thanks for all the great videos.
Hello! I am using wemos d1 mini with a PIR sensor. Can I use a power bank to power it up? Thankyou.
Yes, absolutely
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
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?
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..
friend do you have a project with a mph 9250 or other 9 axis sensor?
I want to like, but i don't want to ruin 666 likes!!! What do i do???
Mher Saribekyan seek mental health advice 😂
ESP8266 is really progressing along, good old ESP8266-01 days seems over now, thank god.
Most forgettable background music. Kinda fast in some places. Other than that, very informative and useful.
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)?
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
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.
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.
unfortunately several pins on the esp8266 are used to indicate bootloader mode and pretty much make those pins unusable for anything.
Could you please build a real-time stock follower. For example, DAX index?
I would like to make an ambilight clone with this and apa102 led strip for PC monitor.
Thx for the review. I bought it on 11/11 but didn't know how it worked exacly
Found it on aliexpress for half price ;) if youre looking at this in 2018
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
You should make this your job using Patreon!
Outstanding video, with your instructions, I got my ESP8266 running with no issues. Now the fun begins!
Well done.
Thanks Kris! You have created some amazing videos as well! Thanks for sharing them with the community! Cheers
Thanks for publishing. Really like this video. Looking forward to learning more from your channel.
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
when I go to choose board mini I click on it nothing happen no window to choose the esp8266 download thanks for any help
Can we operating 5 v relay board using this module for my home automation project?
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
Hi , could you check which 3v3 voltage regulator is on there?
Hi Thank You For Great Video ,, i just got the board and the same oled board
Cool 😎, bro can u teach us how to create our own programme for different ardunio bored
you are cool and the Swiss guy too, take care, i watch you both,, most !
السلام عليك
I want to Tighten phone and arduino // USB // Do I need a driver
The esp8266 works at 3.3V. Seems like you are plugged in it 5V from USB? Are there any voltage regulators on Wemos esp8266 ?
Иван Петров yeah there is
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)
@@PranshuToplevoltage regulator
How can I upload the firmware to this board?
Nice!!
i want to create a remote occupancy sensor .
Thanks foe sharing
A arduino powered laptop? Is it possible????
Can it run deauther
how much oled lcd draw current from esp 12e ????
Thank you
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..
Check this out: ruclips.net/video/CAlKUCjfKFM/видео.html
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?
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);
Please continue projects with this one, we need to learn, thanks in advanced
I agree with KaienSander, you should use Patreon. Your videos and projects are great.
+Steve Tripoli thanks I will consider using patreon for financial support of the channel
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.
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
Jon McPhalen try speed 115200
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
and Nick don't forget the Dallas temperature sensors DS18B20 which are more accurate & cheaper
BME 280 , BH1750 and DS18B20 - > no problem :-)
Yes, I plan to test the BME280 soon!
ok, but there ist a big problem with temperature and humidity :-( .....
How did you managed to connect oled display just with 4 wires to the board?

Do we have a list somewhere of the original arduino libraries that have been updated to support ESP8266 ?
I don't know any list, if some of you know, please share it with us.
Looks like github have this in hand - Here is link to updated Arduino libraries to date github.com/esp8266/Arduino
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.
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.
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.
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.**
I did't find SSD1306Ui.h
can you share me ?
That's the library: github.com/squix78/esp8266-oled-ssd1306
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) ?
You need to modify the sketch a little.
Rename all strings from "SSD1306Ui.h" to "OLEDDisplayUi.h"
It`s described on the lib page.
great content thank you
great video bro ;)
Thank you!
do you know how to power it with a 3.7V LiPo battery?
AN easy way is to use the Battery Shield: bit.ly/WemosBatteryShield
I've tried it and it works perfectly. However I have to live with very stringent space restrictions
order the battery shield
Hi did u find a way to power it through Lipo ?
did you find any way to power up board using 3.7v battery???
why u add a display to it
