Aug 11, 2017 at 11:59 comment added Code Gorilla I agree, I suspect they should all be 3.3, but sometimes you get away with it :)
Aug 11, 2017 at 9:30 comment added dandavis looking at the D1's schematic, the GPIOs are almost all wired straight-through to the 12F module, which would imply all 12Fs share the property. I believe it comes down to quality/die luck: the only one (of dozens) i've had that was noticeably finicky w/ 5v components was one that also froze when "overclocked" to 160. The main issues likely stem from too much heat, and a D1 probably dissipates heat better than an ESP01, commanding more volume in an enclosure if nothing else...
Aug 11, 2017 at 7:30 comment added Code Gorilla @dandavis - The ESP8266 chip data sheet says that the GPIO pins only accept 3.3v max (download.arduino.org/products/UNOWIFI/…), but I know the Node Lua and Wemos D1 are 5v tolerant (well they didn't burn). I don't have a definitive list, in fact I would even stake a donut on the fact that all Wemos D1s are 5v tolerant, because there are so many different designs of the "same thing"
Aug 10, 2017 at 19:45 comment added dandavis what do you mean by "some are, some aren't" 5v tolerant? Which ones are which? where did you find such information?
Aug 10, 2017 at 14:33 comment added Majenko A resistor divider will work as long as the resistors are low enough, but not too low, resistance. I found 1K + 2K worked, but 10K + 20K didn't.
