This newbie successfully followed the video - thanks!

For others just getting your feet wet:
(1) Some USB cables will have the right connectors, but are power-only cables; they won't work. You need a cable with the data pins connected.
(2) The COM Port you need won't even be visible until you have the board connected to your PC with a good USB cable. It will likely be the highest-numbered COM port on the list.

Other than that, if you carefully follow the instructions, it should work.

looking forward to the rest of the series, i am looking to do something similar to switch an appliance on and off, but with a light sensor instead of humidity

Hello! I am using wemos d1 mini with a PIR sensor. Can I use a power bank to power it up? Thankyou.

[Fabsenet]

I like the style of this video a lot. not too fast but also not wasting any useless second. very well done, thanks!

[Rkool]

Great Video, convinced me to buy one and try it out myself!

Hello, great video! May I know where parts 2-4 are? I am a student and was assigned to make something almost similar, by using ACS 712 current sensor and relay module to turn on and off a branch circuit. Your videos will help me a lot. Thank you!!

🤔 this didn't describe how to find the d1 on a network. How do you set that up?

my wifi is esp-12F Doiting, which one should i choose in the board ?
also on the IC it written wh ch340c

Thank you so much for getting me started with the wemos d1 mini and the extra instructions for setting up with the Arduino IDE the blink worked first time and the board manager loaded with all the boards added it made it just easier to get started but I downloaded the Arduino master file and dont know where it goes?

[DennisMurphey]

Are you still about and would be able to help us on a Wemos Development? Dennis in Virginia, USA

[nageshwarrao]

can we burn bootloader on Arduino Pro micro using wemos d1 mini?

[jmr]

Using a breadboard to hold everything well How did I never think of that?

I am getting an error while uploading the the Blink example.
Error: failed sending 1040 bytes
espcomm_upload_mem failed

Plz let me know why this is happening.

At 0:15, how did you add the label that follows the "FCC" marking for a few seconds? That is very neat.

Question, I've done the above, I now see a wemos D1 R1... no R2 ? and I'm guessing the D1 and D1 Mini is the same ?
UPDATE: ... they renamed the boards from Wemos D1 D1-Min as per your video => Lolin (WEMOS) D1 R2 & mini...

I always need to bridge d3 and gnd in order to upload anything. Can this be changed?

[andresfabrizio]

Hi Tom, I've followed the video, and installed the microgear library (v 1.2.4) and the board by esp8266 community (v 2.7.4), but I don't have the option you selected "WeMos D1 R2 & mini". Instead of that, I have only the option "WeMos D1 R1". Could that be the problem? The led does not blink like in your video, I receive a timeout error . Thanks, Andres

Good stuff, thanks for the tutorial!

Edit: I don't see my board coming up as a com port on my computer, any idea what could be going on there?
