WeMos D1 Mini is a miniature Wi-Fi development board based on the ESP8266 ESP-12F module, packing a Tensilica L106 32-bit RISC processor, 4 MB flash, and integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi into a tiny 34.2×25.6 mm PCB. The board exposes 11 digital GPIO pins and one analog input supporting I2C, SPI, and UART through standard headers, and a Micro-USB port with an onboard USB-to-serial converter simplifies firmware uploads.

Overview

The WeMos D1 Mini is a miniature Wi-Fi development board built around the Espressif ESP8266 ESP-12F module. It packs a Tensilica L106 processor, 4 MB of flash and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi onto a 34.2 x 25.6 mm PCB, and exposes 11 digital GPIO pins and one analog input through standard headers. This page lists the board specification and how it connects to ThingsBoard over MQTT.

Key features

  • Single-core Tensilica L106 processor at 80 / 160 MHz
  • Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz)
  • 11 digital I/O pins (3.3 V logic) and 1 analog input (A0, 0 to 3.2 V)
  • Compact 34.2 x 25.6 mm form factor for space-constrained builds
  • Compatible with the WeMos D1 Mini shield ecosystem
  • On-board USB-to-serial bridge (CH340 / CH9102), reset button and LED
  • 5 V via USB or external supply, with an on-board 3.3 V regulator
