Wemos D1 Mini and battery shield headers soldering. Wemos D1 Mini is based on ESP8266. You can order both items simply by entering names into Google search.
Just a helpful hint man, use a breadboard to stabilize everything when soldering headers like that. just plug male headers into the breadboard, and then plug your female headers ontop of them, then put your circuit board on top and solder. This will make things a LOT easier, and leave you with perfectly aligned headers.
Thanks for the suggestion. I actually did that for the second one. My breadboard was occupied with components for another project at the time of recording. I appreciate your input and for taking the time to view my video.
Something weird is happening with mine, I put a 3.7v lipo positive to positive and negative to negative, but the battery discharges almost 1 amp trough the shield and it starts smoking, nothing is connected to it. I don't remember switching the polarity before, but I guess if I did, that could be the problem?
@@markoni985 Thanks for the reply. It's still smoking to this day :P I ended up buying a different charging module (TP4056) It worked great for my project but I did notice that it can't quickly provide bursts of high current spikes without a battery.
i use that shield to power up my wemos, but the wemos start making buzzing noise as soon as I plug the shield on it, do you have any idea with this situation? and what is the effect if I ignore that buzzing noise. Thank you sir.
Hi Muhamad, does the boar power on even with the buzzing? If it does, you probably have really bad case of coil whine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetically_induced_acoustic_noise . If your board is not powering on, you might have polarities on the battery switched and that can both damage D1 mini and shield.
